s Africa’s transitions and future opportunities 2025–2030

The African Climate Foundation outlines a strategic framework for Africa's sustainable transformation by 2030, emphasizing regional integration, green industrialization, localization, domestic capital mobilization, and governance strengthening to avoid extractive economic patterns.

• Deepening regional cooperation and integration is essential for Africa to achieve economic scale and influence global rules on trade and finance. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), ratified by 49 countries, could increase intracontinental exports by approximately 81% and real incomes by 7% by 2035 if fully implemented.
• Green industrialization is presented as a pathway to reduce dependence on raw commodity exports and create higher-value, lower-carbon industries. While manufacturing value added (MVA) in sub-Saharan Africa fell to about 11% of GDP in 2024, countries like Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa, Algeria, and Morocco have already exceeded US$10 billion in MVA.
