Publisher Description:
Why did M-PESA fail in South Africa and succeed in Kenya?How are leading African banks able to lend money with no credit history?How did Rwanda become a frontier for drone development?From Uber to the Boda Boda, Why will the Shared Economy model change the lives of millions of Africans?Is it culture? Is it geography? Is it the rising middle-class? Is it an increase in literacy? Is it the sheer will of the people? Or is it government policy? Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Despite a growing Chinese influence on the continent, competing resources from Asian economies, periodic political instability and infrastructural challenges, Africa today is a continent on the cusp of reverberating with double-digit growth, a burgeoning middle class and cutting-edge modernization from a young population. Denis Helpper and Sara Takagi's excellent work reports the account of this new phenomenal growth in Africa, combining firsthand experiences and stories of many African Start-Ups, OECD, UN findings as well as statistical figures and data from the World Bank, AfDB, IMF and other national and regional organizations.Africa Today: #Over 60 percent of Africa's population today had not been born in 1990.# In 16 years time, Africa is expected to have the largest working population at 1.1 billion people.# Africa's household consumption is projected to double in the next 10 years to 2.3 trillion dollars.# By 2050, out of every ten people in the world, 2.4 people will be African.# Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Mozambique are over 90% reliant on renewable energy.A book that will break stereotypes and answer your questions
