Who are we?
Not an Afterthought is is a publication that through weekly essays explores all the reasons Africa is not and should not be considered an afterthought.
We will look at some of the reasons this view persists with a view to encourage entrepreneurs to innovate around these problems.
We will dig into how the ongoing tech revolution in the continent can and is playing a role in eradicating the perspective that Africa is an afterthought. In particular, how Africans are using tech to build sustainable solutions capable of competing in the global economy.
We will spotlight the ingenious tech and business innovations cropping up across the continent. A big part of why Africa has always been considered an afterthought is the idea that Africans are not capable. The highlighted innovations will prove the depth of the capacity of Africans.
