    If Africa Has the Resources, Why Does It Still Struggle to Finance Its Own Development?

    Prof. Kevin Chika Urama | Africa’s Resources, Capital and the Challenge of Economic Transformation

    Africa is rich in natural resources. It has capital. It has pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, banks, institutional investors and a global diaspora.

    So why does the continent still struggle to finance the exploration, development and transformation of the resources beneath its soil?

    In this Executive Dialogue, Prof. Kevin Chika Urama explores a question at the heart of Africa’s resource future: how can African resources, African capital and African institutions be brought together to finance Africa’s own economic transformation?
