＂Africans Investing in Africa explores intra-African trade and investment by showing how, where and why Africans invest across Africa; to identify the economic, political and social experiences
that hinder or stimulate investment; and to highlight examples of pan-African investors. This book is the outcome of a project conceived in 2011 by the Johannesburg-based Brenthurst Foundation
and the Lago-based Tony Elumelu Foundation. The foundations, drawing on their established record of scholarship and policyadvice on issues impacting Africa’s economic growth and development,
agreed to undertake in-depth, case-study based research into why African-owned or/and African-based companies were still struggling to succeed across multiple geographies on the continent,
despite the Africa’s impressive economic growth rates and overall improvements in macro-economic management. ＂--
