Change is constant, and environments are transforming

The elements of society are changing. Governance realities are evolving and local politics are nebulous. The nature of business is transforming and Africa is in the middle of a monumental transition. These realities combine to produce peculiar challenges for African businesspeople who have to create wealth and make a profit, and policymakers who have to chart a path for society and govern equitably.
