Economic Resilience and Transformation

Driving Policy and Leadership Development for Africa's Circular Economy

We design and scale solutions that unlock long-term prosperity by creating jobs, strengthening industries, and widening access to opportunity.

The Challenge

One of our partners' goals was to spur Africa's transition to a circular economy. However, there existed an opportunity to support the organization in building its capacity to profile, develop, and coordinate the implementation of circular economy opportunities.

The Solution

A major global forum partnered with Axum staff to host the organization's secretariat. We supported this partner in conducting a market research assessment to identify priority themes for circularity — including food systems, packaging, built environment, electronics, and fashion and textiles — interviewing experts and stakeholders to assess circular economy solutions and barriers, developing case studies on circular economy opportunities, and drafting a circular economy implementation roadmap.

The Impact

Axum staff developed the capacity of the secretariat, enabling efficient and effective management of duties at the leadership level. We also developed a defined circular economy roadmap for African member states, with ongoing implementation efforts, improving policy development, leadership, and advocacy, as well as support in scaling circular economy businesses across the continent.

The intersection of inclusion & prosperity.

Through extensive research, consultations, and collaborations, we help shape a future that is inclusive, environmentally responsible, and economically vibrant.
