Top Emerging African Tech Hubs Beyond Lagos and Nairobi

The purpose of this article is to explain how emerging African tech hubs are reshaping innovation beyond the continent’s best-known startup capitals. It shows that Africa’s technology future should be judged not only by venture capital, but also by whether innovation solves real African problems, creates skilled jobs, strengthens regional trade, supports local ownership and improves everyday life. This article focuses on four shifts: the weakening monopoly of the established startup markets, the rise of Francophone West African fintech, the growth of North African deep tech, and the Southern African corridor for renewable and industrial innovation. Key Facts at a Glance African tech startups raised US$4.1 billion in 2025, up 25 per cent year on year. Kenya, South Africa, Egypt and Nigeria remained the four largest funding markets by total capital raised, with Kenya leading at US$1.04 billion. Francophone Africa captured 68 per cent of equity funding and ...

Visiting Africa Is More Than Seeing Wildlife

This article guides travellers, tour operators, travel writers and educators towards a fuller, more responsible experience of Africa—one that combines the continent’s extraordinary wildlife with its people, cultures, cities, histories and living traditions. Many people travel to Africa, spend the majority of their holiday inside safari vehicles and wildlife lodges, and return home believing they have experienced the continent. They may have witnessed extraordinary animals and landscapes. But they have encountered only one part of Africa. Africa is also its people, cities, villages, museums, historical sites, food, music, art and traditional sports. A fuller journey does not require travellers to abandon wildlife tourism. It requires them to look beyond it. Why Is Africa Treated Differently? When tourists visit Europe, Asia or North America, they rarely define the entire journey through wildlife. They explore cities, museums, neighbourhoods, restaurants, historical sites and cultural in...

Best African Countries for Safari: The Honest Independent Guide

  Africa is home to the greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth, yet many safari destination guides published online are written to please tourism boards, lodge operators and advertisers rather than travellers. The same handful of destinations appear repeatedly, described in the same glowing language, while the trade-offs, costs, crowds, access issues and conservation questions are often left out. This guide takes a different approach. AfricaInfoBase is independently funded, accepts no payment from tourism boards or safari operators, and has no commercial interest in where you choose to travel. What follows is an honest, comparative assessment of eight of the best African countries for safari, including what each genuinely delivers, what it costs, where it disappoints, and which type of traveller it suits best. Whether you are a first-time visitor, a returning safari enthusiast, a family traveller, an African diaspora traveller, a photographer, a conservation-minded visitor or an eco-...

The DRC Sits on $24 Trillion in Minerals: So Why Is It One of the World's Poorest Countries?

 Introduction. The Democratic Republic of Congo is often described as one of the richest countries on earth in terms of natural resources. Beneath its soil lie deposits of cobalt, copper, coltan, lithium, gold, diamonds, tin, uranium, and rare earth minerals with a combined estimated value exceeding 24 trillion US dollars. These are not marginal commodities. They are the raw materials that the entire global clean energy transition, the electric vehicle revolution, the smartphone industry, and the modern digital economy depend upon absolutely. And yet the DRC consistently ranks among the poorest nations on earth. According to the World Bank, an estimated 73.5 percent of Congolese people lived on less than 2.15 US dollars per day in 2024. By 2025, 81.1 percent live on less than three dollars per day. The country ranks 164 out of 174 nations on the Human Capital Index. A Congolese child born today can expect to achieve only 37 percent of their productive potential compared to a chil...

Top African Countries for Business and Investment: AfricaInfoBase AIDI Ranking

Introduction This article ranks the ten highest-performing economies among the eighteen African countries assessed in the current AfricaInfoBase Africa Investment and Development Index. The AIDI goes beyond the ease of registering a company. It assesses the conditions that support business continuity, investment growth, local partnerships, employment creation, capital retention and long-term development impact. Starting a business is not the same as sustaining one. The UK Office for National Statistics reported that 93.4 percent of businesses born in 2023 survived their first year. However, only 38.4 percent of businesses born in 2019 remained active in 2024 (ONS, 2025). Therefore, fewer than four in ten businesses from that cohort survived for five years. The United States records a similar pattern. Approximately half of new businesses close within five years (United States Bureau of Labour Statistics, 2024). These failures occur despite reliable infrastructure, mature banking systems...

Why Is Africa Rich but Still Poor?

Introduction This article examines why Africa remains economically disadvantaged despite possessing substantial mineral deposits, energy resources, fertile agricultural land and a rapidly growing population. Africa supplies gold, diamonds, cobalt, lithium, oil, cocoa, cotton and other commodities used throughout the global economy. However, natural-resource ownership does not automatically create widespread prosperity. Much of the value is generated after these resources leave the continent through refining, processing, manufacturing, product development, branding, finance and retail. Africa’s economic position reflects a combination of colonial extraction, commodity dependence, limited industrial capacity, unequal value chains, weak infrastructure, conflict, corruption and damaging policy decisions. Changing this position will require African countries to retain more value, build productive industries and ensure that economic growth improves people’s lives. Africa’s Natural Wealth and...

Ébola en Afrique : la science, les inégalités et les échecs qui font revenir l’épidémie

Un guide complet sur la biologie du virus Ebola, les conditions structurelles qui alimentent les épidémies répétées, le bilan institutionnel de l’OMS et des gouvernements africains, la question des inégalités raciales dans la réponse mondiale en matière de santé, et ce que des solutions durables exigent. Ce que cet article explique Cet article aborde cinq questions interconnectées : comment le virus Ebola se transmet et pourquoi il est mortel ; pourquoi il réapparaît régulièrement en Afrique centrale et occidentale ; comment la faiblesse des systèmes de santé, les conflits et la pauvreté amplifient chaque épidémie ; pourquoi l’accès aux vaccins et aux traitements demeure profondément inégal dans le monde ; et ce que les gouvernements africains, l’OMS, les donateurs internationaux et la communauté scientifique doivent faire différemment si ce cycle doit jamais prendre fin. Introduction Le 17 mai 2026, l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé a déclaré que l’ép...

Ebola in Africa: The Science, the Inequality and the Failures That Keep It Coming Back

  A comprehensive guide to the biology of Ebola, the structural conditions driving repeated outbreaks, the institutional record of WHO and African governments, the question of racial inequity in global health response, and what lasting solutions require. What This Article Explains This article addresses five connected issues: how the Ebola virus spreads and why it is lethal; why it repeatedly re-emerges in Central and West Africa; how weak health systems, conflict, and poverty amplify every outbreak; why access to vaccines and treatments remains deeply unequal across the world; and what African governments, the WHO, international donors, and the research community must do differently if the cycle is ever to end. Introduction On 17 May 2026, the World Health Organization declared the Ebola disease outbreak caused by Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. It was not a surprise. It was the sevente...

Publié : mai 2026  |  Catégorie : Entreprises et ressources naturelles en Afrique  |  Temps de lecture : 15 minutes   Introduction La République démocratique du Congo est souvent décrite comme l'un des pays les plus riches de la planète en termes de ressources naturelles.

Et pourtant, la RDC se classe régulièrement parmi les nations...
