Africa Diasporan Industrial Sovereignty Agenda

Connecting skills, investment and local production.

A public overview of the proposed agenda for African industrial capacity and diaspora cooperation.

The purpose

More of Africa’s value,
made in Africa.

ADISA is a proposed framework for connecting investment, technical skills and productive infrastructure across African markets.

The agenda responds to gaps in employment, housing, energy, processing and regional distribution. Its public vision calls for practical cooperation among enterprise, public institutions and the African diaspora.

Areas of focus

Four shared priorities.

Productive investment

Long-term support for energy, housing, logistics and industrial assets with local benefit.

Local value creation

Processing and manufacturing that keep more value from African resources on the continent.

Skills and food systems

Technical training linked to work, agriculture, storage and food processing.

Connected markets

Stronger distribution infrastructure and collaboration across borders.

Intended outcomes

Building lasting capacity.

These are long-term ambitions for the proposed agenda.

Work: Industrial skills tied to demand.
Value: More local processing and enterprise.
Access: Infrastructure that supports production.
Connection: Cooperation across regions and the diaspora.
