Episode notes
Africa carries one of the heaviest debt loads in the world. It also sits on some of the most promising circular economy activity on the continent. Enterprises in Rwanda, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, and beyond that are reshaping how value moves through African supply chains.
Could there be a connection between the two?
This episode of Africa Circular Talk explores what that link might look like in practice, through the lens of Debt-for-Circular-Economy Swaps.
The conversation opens up a question that doesn't get asked often enough: what happens when circular economy starts being taken as a financing and industrial strategy for a green growth in Africa?
