Alert: Second edition of the Africa Supply Chain Insights Bulletin online

The second edition of the Africa Supply Chain Insights Bulletin is online. Developed by Desiderio Consultants in collaboration with the Advanced Institute for Supply Chain Research (AISCR Global), the bulletin is a strategic publication examining emerging trends, disruptions, and transformation shaping supply chains across Africa and globally. This edition focuses on the growing reality of what many analysts now describe as a “permacrisis” environment, a period characterized by overlapping geopolitical tensions, logistics disruptions, financial instability, infrastructure fragmentation, and trade uncertainty that continue to reshape global and African supply chains. The bulletin explores how Africa is transitioning from being a passive absorber of global supply chain shocks toward becoming a more strategic participant in global value creation through infrastructure development, trade integration, industrial upgrading, and regional collaboration.
