$50 Billion to $500 Billion The Real Cost to Africa

Discover the hidden truths about Africa’s vast resources and their impact on the continent’s economic future. Every year, Africa exports raw materials worth approximately $50 billion, including gold, cocoa, and shea butter. Shockingly, these same resources return as processed goods, valued at over $500 billion—a tenfold increase. This cycle traps African economies in a cycle of dependency and exploitation.
In this video, we explore how manufacturing and industrialization can transform Africa’s economic landscape. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a game-changer, helping small and medium-sized businesses consolidate and access global markets. Initiatives like Prosper Africa are also paving the way for partnerships and growth opportunities.
We highlight the critical role of the African diaspora in driving this transformation. As some of the best-educated Africans globally, the diaspora has the skills, expertise, and capital to build relationships and invest in the continent’s future. From becoming conscious consumers of African-made products to exploring tourism and direct investment, there are many ways to contribute.
