HISTORY & OBJECTIVE

Commemorated since 1990, Africa Industrialisation Day is an occasion where African governments and organisations collectively examine possible ways to facilitate the industrialisation processes This historic celebration is of great importance to the continent since it:

1. Encourages collaboration with global stakeholders and policymakers to expand Africa’s development and financial resources;

Journey Are we on Track?

2. Allows for review of Africa’s industrialisation challenges which leads to an increase in the production capacity of the people and industries; and

3 Enhances intra African trade and increased industry business level competitiveness to uplift the continent’s growing youth population.

RATIONALE

Looking back, it’s been many years since the thought of industrialising African countries began. In fact, it all started after countries began to become independent that they believed industry was the engine of economic growth that would lead them to development Therefore, they adopted an industrialisation strategy as a substitute for importation in light of Latin America's experience

nter November and Africa’s Industrialisation Day on 20 November 2022 which RDJ Publishing (Pty)Ltd. will join the world in celebrating by

This idea seemed very promising especially after looking at the abundance of resources the continent is endowed with. However, the challenges that came along achieving this ambitious goal was not fully known back then.

2022 CELEBRATION OBJECTIVES

The key vision of the 2022 event is to unlock industrialisation by:

Increasing foreign direct investment by reducing import costs on documentation, clearance, customs, taxes, and more

Reducing the cost of doing business such as taxes, regulatory, and insurance cost

Improving the ease of doing business by protecting investors and reducing corruption

Investing and developing specific sectors with natural competitive advantages like agriculture, mining, tourism, and more

Also, the government’s key priorities in this year’s event will be affordable housing, universal healthcare, the manufacturing sector, and food security services.

THE CHALLENGE

The United Nations declared 2016 2025 as the Third Industrial Development Decade for Africa, and so, almost all African countries have industrialisation as a goal in their respective National Development Plans

The challenge is however, that despite having such plans in place, industrialisation in Africa is still a difficulty since the continent remains the world's least industrialised region with around two thirds of value added manufacturing taking place in just five nations, namely South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, and Nigeria

At the moment, it is reported that only South Africa is categorized as industrialised, and its trade remains concentrated in Southern Africa where it has preferential access to the bulk of markets

Despite being endowed with an abundance of resources spread across the continent which can be explored and marketed for the benefit of the continent’s economic and social growth, local production of value addition and finished goods is still on the “wish list” of many African countries. This makes many countries significantly dependent on imports for finished products that have greater value, while exporting raw and semi finished goods of lesser value

Furthermore, Eurostat also indicates that in 2021, 68 % of goods that Africa imported from the European Union (EU) were manufactured goods, while 65 % of goods that Africa exported to the EU were primary goods (food and drink, raw materials and energy) This shows how much resources Africa possesses but lacks the ability to transform them to final products which could have increased its gains from exports Indeed, industrialisation in Africa shows areas of opportunity!

BoostingIndustrialization

Furthermore, African countries should prepare for a digital economy, and build industrial capabilities to aid a faster industrialisation of the continent Policy makers should prioritise access to ICT goods and services, fostering innovation and research, and updating laws on data localisation, protection and intellectual property rightstoachievesuchgoals.

What do you think are the greatest barriers to Africa’s industrialisation that have not yet been addressed? We would love to hear from you at briefing@rdjpublishing.africa

The Proposed Namibia and Zambia pipeline A Reflection

AUTHOR: Junias David Researcher@RDJConsulting

Petroleum energy will be futuristic in several countries, even though petroleum energy is regarded as a greenhouse gas emitter and a barrier to environmental desires such as NET ZERO, which is an initiative to cut greenhouse gas emissions as close to zero as possible by the year 2050.

Countries continue to discover oil resources and in parallel, petroleum use has increased in some parts of the world, particularly those that are in need of industrial growth Namibia and Zambia are amongst those countries that are now increasing their investments in the petroleum industry, this time with an approach towards cost reduction on petroleum imports through much needed petroleum carrier infrastructure development, simply oil pipelines

Africa anticipated as being a gasoline hub in the future, Namibia and Zambia will partner in a 2 000km fuel pipeline plan.

The Minister of Mines and Energy of Namibia, Hon. Tom Alweendo confided that about “600 million Africans have no access to electricity, and that for the next few decades, gas is going to be one of the biggest sources of energy on the continent, and for this reason, the right infrastructure must be in place to ensure the resource is distributed ”

OIL PIPELINES

Pipelines in this case are used to transport liquid petroleum and some liquefied gases The longest oil pipeline to date is the Colonial Pipeline in the United States of America (U.S.A.), which stretches 8500 km, originating in Texas, and carries gasoline and jet fuel as far as New York (Prospero Events Group). Other longer oil pipelines include the Eastern Siberia Pacific Ocean Oil Pipeline (4857 km) in Russia, the Druzhba Pipeline (5500km) in Russia, and the Keystone Oil Pipeline (3462 km) in Canada

In Africa, Niger is yet to complete the longest pipeline in the continent which will stretch 2,000 kilometers, including 1,250 km, connecting oil wells in the eastern region of Agadem in Niger In addition, the country is on track to sell crude oil to the international market from July 2023 with the oil pipeline project predicted to produce 200,000 barrels per day in 2026, according to the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy of Niger.

BENEFITS

Integrated Flow Solutions LLC, a company that specializes in designing and manufacturing modular “engineered to order” (ETO) and “configure to order” (CTO) liquid and gas process systems, has designed a framework for oil pipelines, presenting these advantages:

Large capacity Transportation: Pipelines can transport enormous amounts of oil and natural gas They are more efficient at transferring these vast quantities of oil and natural gas than conventional shipments by rail, truck, or ships.

Safer and continuous transportation: Pipelines greatly minimize the risk of explosion, as above surface pipelines are specifically designed to withstand adverse environmental temperatures and weather changes without developing dangerous leaks.

Tiny surface footprint: Another beneficial feature of pipeline transport is the negligible above ground surface area they occupy Typically, most pipeline systems are buried underneath the earth’s surface, and not taking up much space in the areas

Shorter construction time frame: The installation of an oil and gas carrier pipeline system can be done in a fractionofthetimerequiredtoconstructadedicatedrail transportation system of a similar length. Pipeline construction is quicker as large capacity pipes can simply beconstructedtorunovernaturalgeographicalbarriers.

Lower energy use and reduced transportation costs: Among the benefits of pipeline transportation of oil and natural gas is the efficiency of the process. Pipeline systems utilize comparably lower amounts of energy to transport significantly larger volumes of oil than can be conveyedbytruck,rail,orship.

Environmentally Friendly: Conveying oil using pipelines is an eco friendly option over transportation by conventional rails and oil ships Oil transport lines have a less damaging environmental effect than other forms of conveyance as they are sealed and mostly subterranean whichreducestheircarbonfootprintsignificantly

Could the futures of Namibia and Zambia be about to change? As always, the conversation continues at briefing@rdjpublishing.africa

The Potential for GH2 in Rural Development: Agriculture and Green Ammonia

AUTHOR: Hannah Brendell PolicySpecialist Intern@ RDJ Consulting

Courtesy : Unsplash

In continuation with last month’s look at the possibilities of green hydrogen in rural development, this month we dive into what the agricultural appli cations of green hydrogen could mean for rural African communities From our previous article focused on electrification powered by green hydrogen, it is likely becoming apparent just how vast the applications of green hydrogen are The agricultural applications of green hydrogen centre around fertilisers and more specially the creation of Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) which is a vital part of most fertilisers. Ammonia is so important that without it we would not be able to produce nearly 60% of the food needed globally The vast majority of agricultural activities occur in remote and rural areas, so any efforts to enhance farming in turn benefits rural communities

The process of producing green ammonia through hydrogen sources produced through a combination of renewable energy, desalinated water for the extraction of hydrogen using electrolysis. Nitrogen on the other hand is extracted from the air through an air separation unit Finally, hydrogen and ammonia are combined through ammonia synthesis and the end product is anhydrous ammonia “Ammonia binds airborne nitrogen and makes the most important crop nutrient, nitrogen, available for nitrogen based fertiliser production.”

Opportunities:

Improved livelihoods: enhanced agricultural productivity in rural communities would result in cheaper food for people and in turn more disposable

income to put towards things like education, healthcare and business creation.

Boosting of agripreneurship: more money flowing through a community often results in new businesses and or benefits existing businesses

Reduced transport costs: if fertiliser production facilities are built in close proximity to agricultural hubs (end markets) then rural communities stand to benefit from cheaper products in comparison to imported products.

Career development and skills transfer: if ammonia production facilities are within the vicinity of rural communities it is highly probable that employment activities across the value chain will be made available to people living in rural communities

Shift from Importer to Exporter: countries that are net importers of fertilisers such as Namibia (fertiliser is in the top 5 products imported as of June 2022) and enter the green ammonia market, stand a lot to gain by becoming either fertiliser producers or exporters.

Challenges:

Lack of renewable energy resources: like with Green Hydrogen production in general the question of the availability of renewable energy technology and necessary technical support to help run a successful operation will be a significant obstacle to overcome Costly and time consuming: green ammonia plants are expensive and require a great time commitment towards things like establishing partnerships, conducting feasibility studies, building pilot projects and ultimately transporting the ammonia.

Project Objectives: if African countries are not firm in their objective to first meet the needs of their citizens urban and rural alike then green ammonia stands the risk of predominantly serving the needs of foreign markets/countries

WhatNext?

Most notably, some countries are advancing in the production of green ammonia and hydrogen which include Egypt, Morocco and Angola. Scatec, (a renewable energy solutions provider) earlier this year announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed with various Egyptian stakeholders within the energy industry, tobuildagreenammoniaandgreenhydrogenplantsetto produceover1milliontonsofgreenammoniaannually

Similarly, Morocco is also moving towards creating their country’s largest green ammonia and green hydrogen plant, set to produce 183 000 tonnes / annum of green ammonia once commissioned This development will allow Morocco, an established global leader in the export of phosphate and fertiliser, to secure an even stronger foothold in the fertiliser industry through potentially becoming a net green ammonia exporter instead of importer

In Angola a technical study is currently underway for a proposed Capanda Green Ammonia project led by an entity called Minbos Resources The aim of their technical study is to evaluate the potential of including wind or solar energy options into the existing hydroelectric power set to produce green ammonia in the Malanje Province, east of the Angolan capital, Luanda. This study comes nearly a year after the announcement of Angola’s Ministry of Agriculture’s support of the project by the Australian fertiliser developer. The green ammonia produced is set to total 300,000 tonnes / annum of which approximately 50% of it will go to producing fertiliser and 50% explosivesgradeAmmoniumNitrate.Inaforwardthinking move the production facility will be built within heavy road transport distance of Angola’s key agricultural and mining regions, according to the Ammonia Energy Association.

MINING AND DIGITALISATION IN AFRICA

“A look at the Reality”

Beneath the soil of the African continent, lies a wealth of mineral resources of enormous value! Many African economies, as well as the rest of the world rely greatly on the exploration of these resources Mineral exploration and production constitute significant parts of many African countries economies and remain keys to economic growth, while about 30 per cent of the world’s total mineral reserves and a significant share of the global production of economically important minerals and metals lay beneath the African soil as detailed in the April and September 2022 Editions of the RDJ Briefing.

Mines have reasonably long lives (around 30 years or more), and mining is usually the primary sector resource that sustains the economies of countries! In Africa for example, the mining sector serves as a major source of revenue for several countries, fueling the continent’s economy. In 2019 for example, minerals and fossil fuels alone accounted for more than a third of exports from at least 60% of African countries

The dilemma

As much as this sounds like a productive sector, mining has not always been as productive in the past as it is today and hopefully in the nearby future. In Africa, mines depended greatly on their reliability and predictability, both for production and for ensuring the health and safety of workers This in turn from a cost per unit approach, ends up limiting them from easily deploying new technologies over centuries Other limitations included the lack of a holistic geological mapping and exploration approaches, and this results in a less or poorly understood scope of resources for the continent’s benefit.

The mines of the future

Artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics can help Africa’s mining companies optimise their operations and enable them to capitalise on growing demand for the minerals they produce. But new technology also brings new challenges that firms and governments must be ready to confront.

Canweseethefuture?Courtesy:istock

The good news is that these limitations are now coming to an end as several mines have now been adopting new strategies and technologies to increase their productivity. The adoption of efficient renewable energy systems in mining for example, is one that has been ongoing and significantly helping the mining sector to reduce its environmental impact

In addition, mining companies and African governments of the mineral rich countries are embracing the digitalisation of the mining sector by incorporating new technologies in its operations such as those considered Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, and big data These are now being seen as tools that mining firms need to limit their damage to the environment, improve working conditions, reduce operating costs, and boost productivity.

SYAMA MINE : A digitalised mine in Africa

An example of a mine in Africa that has already started benefiting from being digitalised is the Syama mine in Mali. This mine was transformed into the world’s first purpose built automated mine in 2015 when Resolute Mining took over operations In this mine, it is reported that employees use a fiber optic network connected to above ground control centers to manage and monitor all activities, from the clearing of the drill point to extraction, loading, and hauling. Although the initial investment was steep, the changes are expected to cut mining costs by 30 percent and improve overall efficiency. The machines can operate 22 hours a day, and there is no time lost due to shift changes

THE GOOD: New higher paid Jobs

Digitalising the mining sector is seen as beneficial because it creates new jobs in areas such as data processing, GIS mapping and software design Despite these jobs being less in number compared to the traditional jobs, they compete with industries such as trucking, drilling, and blasting, they are better paid. In specific cases, new technology may increase viability so much that, while jobs per tonne are falling, the vastly increased scale of operation will mean more jobs

THE BAD: Local Communities participation

Digitalising the mining sector is of great importance to governments and interest to investors and recipients of the funds Sadly, the interest and socio economic lives of the locals and surrounding communities are not always placed as priority in many cases. Reason why a great concern about the impact of implementing new technologies in the mining sector tends to spur up among locals and surrounding communities

Even if new high skill jobs are better paid and safer, workers from nearby communities may be challenged to fill them. They may not possess the necessary skills required to work under such conditions because they lack the capacity to be trained for the new jobs, particularly in countries and regions where primary and secondary education are poor or where there are weak links between mining companies and educational/vocational institutions And if they happen to acquire technical skills to operate a digitalised mine, they may be required to relocate to operation centers located miles away from the mine sites for longer periods of time to control the machines remotely

What now?

Like in life, digitalising the mining sector may uplift one and downgrade another It is therefore crucial to continue evolving and applying new solutions to existing and emerging problems because in society since there is no such thing as a “one size fits all” approach. As Landry Signé (2021), briefly summarised it, "Digitalised mines will disrupt Africa’s mining sector; but the advantages of digitalisation, if harnessed correctly, will far outweigh the risks”

What is a Sustainable Energy Mix?

So let’s start here. In 1987, the United Nations Brundtland Commission defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs ”

It further refers the term Energy Mix to “How final energy consumption in a given geographical region breaks down by primary energy source.”

Now, is there such a thing as a Sustainable Energy Mix?

Firstly, a energy mix varies from country to country as it depends on the combination of resources available in individual countries to produce energy for industry and trade to thrive. These resources are used in different proportions to meet country specific energy needs and support economic development.

The energy sources may include fossil fuels (oil, natural gas and coal), nuclear energy, waste and the different types of renewable energy (biomass, wind, geothermal, water and solar) These energy sources are used to generate electricity, provide fuel for transportation, and heat and cool residential and industrial buildings

With the move towards fighting climate change, the fossil fuels age is environmentally inconvenient to say the least, since countries have been reviewing their energy mix to incorporate more environmentally friendly sources while doing away with those that could pose harm to humanity in the future

Despite varying significantly from one country to another, the UN reports that globally, fossil fuels account for over 80% of the energy mix. Energy production is the largest driver of climate change, but statistics show that around three quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the burning of fossil fuels for energy which comes at a large cost to human health This is why countries that have signed up to clean energy pathways have embarked on the journey towards incorporating more environmentally friendly solutions

SO, WHAT REALLY IS A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY MIX?

To reduce global emissions, it is expected that a shift of business as usual energy systems from fossil fuels to low carbon sources of energy should be the focus We need to ‘decarbonise’, and when countries undertake this at a rate that does not impede economic development, this is referred to as the Just Energy Transition!

At this stage, it is clear to relate now that a Sustainable Energy Mix refers to an energy mix derived from effective

sources that will ensure continuous supply of energy in future without degrading the environment or anything in existence.

ARE WE THERE YET?

With a population of 8 billion and rising, and the increase on energy demand, along with ambitious National Development Goals in terms of energy production and supply, the battle to attain such goals are eminent and on going It is necessary that “All hands are on deck” to ensure a future for our planet In 2019, almost 16% (15 7% to be precise) of global primary energy came from low carbon sources. Low carbon sources are the sum of nuclear energy and renewables which includes hydropower, wind, solar, bioenergy, geothermal and wave /tidal

Such steps may seem small but are crucial to move forward Today, we can already see the push for increased environmentally friendly energy supply solutions taking a stand. We now have the carbon markets growing, the emerging green hydrogen industries and other renewables taking a stand All these are needed to achieve a common global goal

What do you think is a Sustainable Energy Mix? Do you think it is attainable? What is your country doing to ensure that we have a Sustainable Energy Mix moving forward? Talk to us and as always, the conversation continues at briefing@rdjpublishing.africa

Water is Life No Kidding!

As the saying goes "No Water No Life", which holds true, not just for basic survival but also for global trade and industrialisation growth. This was

perhaps most evident this year (2022), which saw significant impediments on the overall supply of goods due to water scarcity

Europe experienced record charting droughts which in turn directly impacted food production and led in part to high food prices both domestically and internationally Furthermore, international trade simply isn't possible at the scale which it currently stands without the manoeuvring of ships across water namely our rivers and oceans This manifested in the hit Germany's trade took due to decreasing water levels on the River Rhine Ships had to drop their merchandise levels to as low as 30% to ensure they stayed afloat

Failure to properly find ways to store water, particularly freshwater and encourage the uptake of technologies to bolster the water industry will ultimately result in the failure of a nation to grow economically

Waterscarcitywillcostcertain

One initiative will be explored this month to be followed upwithmoreexamplesinfutureeditions

Countries such as India in partnership with the World Economic forum through their initiative 2030 Water Resource Group (WRG) have implemented an accelerator program largely aimed at reducing water use in agribusinesses The accelerator is said to amass USD 100 million by 2050 in private investment to address not only water use but also increase crop yields, improve the income of farmers and ultimately reduce greenhouse emissions by as much as 60% Some water efficiency technologies being used include Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) anddripirrigation

Pipelines and

ESG: Can it work?

Courtesy:APIwwwapiorg

In the economics of gas and liquid transportation over long distances, the use of pipelines is without a doubt the most economical method if the environ

mental, social and governance (ESG) factors are discounted For example, Natural gas pipelines crisscross the United States of America and is indicated by others to be transporting approximately 25% of the nation’s energy from the well head to market. A study by Penn State University, thus has the potential during construction / operation for Environmental impacts, Safety and human health concerns, and Impairment of viewsheds and landscape

To mitigate these risks and as pointed out by others, the use of pipelines will need extensive planning programs that have to incorporate various elements prior to the transport of the first cubic metre or litre of product and revenue generation With this in mind, it is important that the ESG process be viewed not as a “checklist” and requirement to meet “regulatory compliance” but that it is considered good business practice and at a minimum, good stewardship of resources for society.

So, without insulting those that know, what is ESG?

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) refers primarily to the set of standards for a company's behaviour used by financial institutions and investors to screen potential investments Environmental criteria consider how a company safeguards the environment, including corporate policies addressing other issues such as climate change, for example. Social impact is

indicative from looking at local content, diversity and gender, relocation matters and material sourcing Governance matters surround accountability and generally focusses on corruptive practices, boardroom ethics and organizational behaviour that will dictate monetaryflowsandprofitabilityapproaches

This means that in evaluating a go, no go move, the business will have examined a myriad of issues far beyond the acronyms of NPV, IRR, WACC and DSCR, and moved now into the mitigation areas of risks and opportunitiestoadaptorjustbeagile.

NASDAQ points out to shareholders and companies that “ESG data has increasingly become an important resource for investors seeking performance indicators, but also for public companies trying to increase operational efficiency, decrease resource dependency, andattractnewcustomersandemployees”.

The value of the ESG process is therefore mutually beneficial to all and can if properly executed “meet the needs of the now, without compromising the needs of the future” However, the conversation continues at briefing@rdjpublishing.africa

AfCFTA: The impact of Port Operations

Courtesy: AlbrechtFietzfromPixabayTheAfCFTA

Free trade is coming under scrutiny especially after the supply chain constraints of Covid 19 and recent disputes such as the Russia/Ukraine conflict With

Africa’s vision to industrialise continuing to gain momentum, the impact of various factors on the ability for intra Africa trade gains momentum.

In the continuing journey towards intra Africa trade, the African Union (AU) is determined to work with countries to remove international trade situations such as the complicated and varied tariffs, taxes, customs rules, and logistics and supply chain bottlenecks between member states. Agenda 2063, Africa’s blueprint and 50 year master plan which commenced in 2013, aims to transform Africa into the global powerhouse of the future through the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)

AfCFTA is a highly ambitious trade agreement policy that

encompasses a comprehensive scope that touches on critical areas of Africa’s economy such as digital trade and investment protection, and other areas such as transport infrastructural development In pursuit of making Africa a global powerhouse, AfCFTA is the strategic framework and flagship project of Agenda 2063 to foster industrialisation AfCFTA will stimulate employment and investment, thus, enhancing the competitiveness of Africa in the medium to long term.

AfCFTA is set to be the world’s largest free trade area bringing together the 55 countries of the AU comprised of eight (8) Regional Economic Communities (RECs), knows as the AMU, CEN ZAD, COMESA, EAC, EAC, ECCAS, ECOWAS, IGAD and SADC to create a single market for the continent AfCFTA’s mandate is to enable the free flow of goods and services across the continent and boost the trading position of Africa in the global market.

Benefits of the AFCFTA

The hope with AfCFTA is that upon its full implementation, about 30 million people will potentially be lifted out of extreme poverty through the sheer magnitude of activating the AfCFTA processes and the spin offs that occur. In addition, the creation of AfCFTA is expected to result in an income increase of up to USD 450 billion by 2030 As a result, the realization of the AfCFTA will help create jobs, reduce the poverty rate, and boost Africa’s economic status on the world stage

According to the Cooperative Logistics Network, the implementation of the AfCFTA as of 1st January 2021, allowed the African nations to officially commence trade under a new free trade area across the continent The AfCFTA has also created the largest free market in the world by connecting 1 3 billion people from 55 nations with a total GDP of $3 4 trillion

Port operations and the AfCFTA

Defined by SINAY Maritime Data Solutions, port operations are a series of maritime procedures aimed to ensure the smooth transition of vessels and their containers from one terminal to another. The Port of Durban in South Africa is the biggest container port in Africa in terms of capacity It is South Africa's main port which handles about 1 55 million containers every year Other major ports in Africa that would play a major role in the AfCFTA through container shipping include the Port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, Port Elizabeth in South Africa, Port of Walvis Bay in Namibia, Port of Casablanca in Morocco, and Tolanaro Port in Madagascar.

Over 90% of Africa’s imports and exports in 2016 were

conducted via the sea, according to African Ports Evolution The high frequency of this mode of transport calls for an increasing need for innovation and development in the field of maritime In addition, the WESGRO Group research in South Africa, reports that 70% of African countries are coastal and there are over a hundred port facilities in the region African seaborne trade makes up 7 5% of loaded trade and 4 8% of unloaded trade globally Port operations could thus be the epitome of the AfCFTA because of Africa’s plethora of coastline coverage. Only 30% of African countries do not have coastlines, however, these countries have substitutes to take part in port operations by renting dry portsincoastalcountries.

AfCFTA being the largest free market in the world also translates to Regional Economic Communities being far apart, which makes transportation expensive. Effectively managing ports in Africa is a distinct solution among manysolutionstofullyactivatetheAfCFTA.

AI’sFutureintheAfrica’sContinentalFreeTradeArea(AfCFTA)

AUTHOR: Hannah Brendell PolicySpecialist Intern@RDJConsulting

So enter African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the hopes and desires that it brings for Trade and Industrial Development across the continent

ACFTA could accelerate Africa’s futures according to findings issued at African Ports Evolution, with over 90% of Africa’s imports and exports being conducted via sea, making finding ways of bettering shipping between countries in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) not only relevant but particularly essential

As part of the International Maritime Organization (IMO)'s Strategic Plan (2018 2023) it highlighted the need to..."Integrate new and advancing technologies in the regulatory framework." Organisations and corporate entities are realising that ensuring better shipping means taking advantage of technology such as Artificial

Intelligence (AI) Exploreai who are producers of AI driven software and digital twins for global companies, notes that AI is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information), reasoning (using the rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self correction AI is made possible by using big data collected over time alongside the expertise of professionals in an industry to make predictions that will improve the operations of various industries applicable therefore to industries such as shipping

The applications of AI in the shipping industry will have a vast variety of applications. Some of the applications

include systems for supporting maintenance, voyage optimization (reducing fuel consumption), automation, and monitoring of shipping vessels These applications are predicted to have the maritime industry spend 931 million USD by the end of 2022 alone

Starting in 2023, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will make it mandatory for ship owners to report Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) for their vessels annually. The new regulations would impact all trade vessels namely cargo ships and “RoPax” ferries, as well as cruise vessels grossing more than 5 000 tonnes The vessels would be evaluated on a grading scale ranging from A being the highest and E being the lowest Those that fail with an E score would be prohibited from trading until corrective plans are implemented. To ensure vessels are meeting the criteria they could benefit from AI through voyage optimization and in turn reduce their current carbon emissions

African countries and major ship owners operating in the AfCFTA region, therefore, have the opportunity to benefit from the advancing technologies as well as being part of investing in promising technologies through supporting local businesses in this endeavour. There are considerations around safety and security as well as costs to the industry as a whole which cannot be ignored when

assessing the incorporation of AI into the AfCFTA regions andglobalshippingindustryhowever

What is clear however is that AI cannot be ignored as the AfCFTA develops and matures for fear of the shipping industry in the region at large being left behind As always, the conversation continues at briefing@rdjpublishing.africa

Youth In Action

The future of Trade & Industrialization

Interviewed by Ms Kina Indongo (Communications Contributor RDJ Consulting)

The African continent continues to face economic uncertainty and rising youth unemployment a particularly significant

problem for young females in the North African region The African Development Bank reported that the average unemployment rate for Sub Saharan Africa on average, stands above 50% (Eswatini 56%, Botswana 36%, Namibia 49% or South Africa 54%) Could the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA ) be the answer to Africa’s youth employment crisis?

The AfCFTA was brokered by the African Union (AU) on March 21st 2018, and signed by 44 of its 55 member states in Kigali, Rwanda The agreement aims to be a means of economic acceleration and development, by reducing tariffs among members while simultaneously covering policy around trade facilitation and services, as well as reducing technical barriers to trade. If implemented successfully, AfCFTA foresees the agreement to bring together 1 3 billion people in a $3 4 trillion economic bloc

Currently 54 states with the exception of Eritrea have submitted tariff reduction schedules. Members must

phase out 90% of tariff lines over five years for more advanced economies or 10 years for less developed nations Another 7% considered sensitive will get more time, while 3% will be allowed to be placed on an exclusion list.

It is then essential that the AfCFTA incorporates a policy that guarantees not just the involvement of women and youth but facilitates it Small businesses owned by women in Africa account for close to 60 per cent of Africa's GDP, while creating about 450 million jobs

Additionally, young Africans are at the cutting edge of technological advancements, in Lagos or Kigali. African youth are developing the latest software to drive e commerce This article explores the voices of young men and women around Africa on the AfCFTA agreement, what it may mean for them, as well as the future of Trade and Industrialization in Africa

THE FUTURE OF TRADE & INDUSTRIALISATION

Kwame is a tech entrepreneur, web developer, TV host, public speaker, and consultant with over ten years of experience in Ghana's tech industry, spanning multiple roles from entry to executive levels He is passionate about using technology to drive positive change across the African continent, as well as giving young people opportunities to make an impact through skills training and mentorships across the continent He is the Founder and President of Techstripped Africa (www techstripped com), a tech influence network and accelerator that helps teach students identify their leadership potentials and develop entrepreneurial skills in order to curb youth unemployment and lack of leadership in Africa.

Kwame is also the General Manager of Virdge, an event technology firm that provides end to end technology solutions (www.v access.io) for events across the African continent Kwame completed his senior high school education at Prempeh College before enrolling at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology to study Environmental Science He is a 2021 Mandela Washington Fellow, where he studied Leadership in Business at the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management and further continued for the Alumni Enrichment Institute at Dartmouth College in 2022.

Hear now his voice and views through the next set of questions posed to him during our interview.

World Bank statistics show that Africa is facing a rising youth unemployment rate, in your opinion what role can/ should African youth play to offset this trend?

Young people need to grab the bull by the horns and stop relying on governments to provide them with employment, and instead start looking out for themselves in the correct manner According to John C Maxwell, "Everything rises and falls on leadership," and it is clear that the majority of African leaders have failed this generation As a result, young people need to start reflecting deeply, figuring out their potential and purposes, and starting working on them We need to stop hunting for employment and start performing the work that has been planted inside us so that we can flourish and find fulfilment

Inside every seed is a tree, and inside every tree is a forest, so whether it is entrepreneurship, developing specific skills or gifts, content creation, social work, etc , young people need to find what makes them tick, explore it to the max and I can bet the world will come to their feet and success will be inevitable There are two scriptures in the bible that guide me in all I do, and I believe should be the guiding principles for every young person 1

Ecclesiastes 9:10 “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom ”

2.

Proverbs 18:16 “A man’s gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men ”

Posterity is counting on us as young people and we can’t fail, we need to own our narrative, create opportunities where there isn’t any, sacrifice certain momentary pleasures and make sure we create the jobs that we are looking for so that future youth will not be found wanting like us

The digital economy is acknowledged as a driver of cross border trade, is the African continent investing enough into the fourth Industrial revolution and if not what more can be done?

I feel we are trying but it’s not enough At the pace where the global giants in tech and innovation are moving, we need to work overtime as a continent in order to catchup But unfortunately, most of our leaders are still stuck in their old ways and refusing to adapt to the times I believe young people can force the continent to grow toward a better digital economy We need to learn, learn, and learn to build, adopt, and use technologies, and while we use them, we need to be innovative enough to build our own platforms that are tailored to our needs for maximum benefit.

I interviewed the father of internet in Africa earlier this year and he said when he was introducing internet on the continent, he wanted people who were willing to learn to build platforms and products that will cause us to grow on the digital front, but we rather chose to be users of what others are building and not builders ourselves, that is why we are lagging behind

Governments need to invest in technology education, offer scholarships to young people to go to advanced countries to learn and come to implement the knowledge gained. Governments do not have to overly place restrictions and expensive licences on young people/ ventures building products across various sectors of the economy If they are not given a chance to build and make manageable mistakes, the right tech products or solutions will never be built and we would have to always rely on western solutions

THE FUTURE OF TRADE & INDUSTRIALISATION

it with open arms. "

Gloria Kantengwa

Hailing from Kigali, Rwanda, Gloria Kantengwa serves as the Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning Associate with The Challenges Group, an International Management, Trade and Development Organization

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Communication with a concentration in Business from Southern New Hampshire University Her mission in life is to become a game changer, as she envisions a world where no one should get out of the box and imagine things in a different way

For the past five years, Gloria has been working in the Social Entrepreneurship and market linkages space She is passionate in enhancing social justice for poverty alleviation and boosting the emerging economies to attain the leading sustainable development goals of the globe

How can youth overcome the growing challenge of rising youth unemployment rates?

Young people have got no other option, apart from pushing ourselves into creative and sustainable spaces, conscious of the fact that although there may be a lack of resources or in the case of some African countries lack of political stability It is time to use our minds more than ever to solve the problems; we should invest in creative solutions and bring them onboard On

the other hand, we need to recognize and celebrate the people who are innovative and who take up leadership positions. There is a higher level of educated youth than ever before in history, if we could use the knowledge of these youths, expand on to, and tap into our innovation and creativity, it would produce something that would pay off in millions of years to come

What are the challenges facing youth entrepreneurs who own/start Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)?

In some instances, young entrepreneurs find it hard to operate in broken and corrupted systems whereby they do not know which institution to approach for a specific support.

Even where there are institutions, they are requested bribes to process their requests or even the support provided is given to the implementers and direct network such as family members Recently, there has been rising cases of young entrepreneurs who before obtaining grants and funds, are requested at least a quarter of their funds With these barriers, it is very hard for young entrepreneurs to make it through considering that kind of broken systems

Again, young people do not have the right network that include key decision makers in their network. As a result of this lack of support from decision makers, most young people don’t get help when they need it most and end up failing because of lack of funds, advocacy, critical partnerships and support from key decision makers in their network

However, I rally my fellow African youths despite challenges to keep pushing regardless of obstacles and let the future determine it’s self. Keep fighting the good fight of hard work, patience, building systems, innovation,

and other critical steps needed to ensure there is a favorable environment for everyone to thrive

In addition, those who are waiting to start big interventions tomorrow, I would say “Start small but start today”

For entrepreneurs with start ups, things change fast when you are an entrepreneur especially if you are starting out with a new product or service that has not been tested yet but they still want to give it a shot regardless of how risky it may be It is also important that you know your strengths as well as weaknesses so you can build systems around them so you can be successful at what you want to achieve in life whether it be long term or short term goals.

Again, the world is changing at an exponential rate: There are disruptive innovations happening everywhere you look that will change your business model in ways you never thought of before “Never be afraid of change because it is inevitable, and if you want to be successful in this world then you must embrace it with open arms " Said Gloria

Never be afraid of change because it is inevitable, and if you want to be successful in this world then you must embrace

THE FUTURE OF TRADE & INDUSTRIALISATION

Interview with Mr. Gerold Dreyer County: Namibia

Gerold Dreyer holds a Bachelor’s degree in Software Development from the Namibia University of Science & Technology (NUST) In his personal capacity, he has been a devote Global Shaper since 2018 He is passionately driving Pan African youth empowerment & development through entrepreneurship, innovation and education and has worked with the African Union Commission, United Nations and G20 on these topics.

For the past few years he has been working at the German Development Agency (GIZ), where he is based at the StartUp Namibia project as a Junior Technical Advisor His role is centered on Monitoring & Evaluation and Digitalization. In August 2022, he started working for an additional GIZ project named Make IT in Africa, which aims to strengthen innovation ecosystems across the continent. As a regional project, Make IT in Africa is operational in multiple countries

Since 2017, Make IT has been working in Accra, Ghana and Kigali, Rwanda serving the West and East African regions, respectively The Southern African office based in Windhoek

began operations earlier this year, and is excited to start implementation in the region.

The African continent is home to eight of the world’s fifteen least economically diversified countries. How can youth play a bigger role in future diversification of Africa's economy?

Innovation! It is no secret that youth have some of the brightest ideas These ideas should be harnessed and nurtured so that they can be turned into viable businesses. By addressing barriers to trade in services, boosting relevant skills and improving access to innovative alternative financing, the continent’s manufacturing productivity can be enhanced, driving Africa’s economic growth and structural transformation for many years to come

How can youth position themselves to be beneficiaries of the AfCFTA?

Efforts to connect African traders across countries should deliberately include youth owned/led businesses There is opportunity for the emergence of youth focused cooperatives and pooled purchasing systems to aggregate demand and lower costs of trade through economies of scale Similarly, trade service providers e.g. transportation, logistics and travel, should consider offering reduced rates for young cross border traders Countries are currently developing AfCFTA implementation strategies/ action plans and reforming trade related rules and practices to ensure alignment with the AfCFTA

These efforts should look beyond macro and sectoral considerations to concretely identify production and investment opportunities for youth led businesses. National and regional implementation strategies can clearly link to already identified and novel priorities for youth development.

In your opinion how can African Governments and leaders foster an environment that supports the growth of MSMEs, particularly for the youth?

The Government has a big role to play in creating an enabling environment for MSME formation and growth This can be done through the creation of incubation centers where MSMEs can receive the relevant support to ideate, prototype, pivot and accelerate their ideas/ventures and gain the practical know how on successfully running a business. Secondarily, access to finance Given the huge financing needs and the difficulty in accessing bank loans, there is a call for more innovative financial instruments for African MSMEs to secure access to finance i e subsidized loans, longer repayment terms, lower interest rates etc In addition, access to the market Youth owned MSMEs should be given preference to benefit from the AfCFTA with specific measures put in place to prioritize them

Finally, I wish to commend African Governments for existing legal and regulatory frameworks they have in place to mainstream youth empowerment and development in their countries

"I wish to commend African Governments for existing legal and regulatory frameworks they have in place to mainstream youth empowerment and development in their countries."
