The Six Regions of Africa
African countries have embraced regional integration as the core strategic thrust to overcome obstacles inherited by colonial-induced fragmentation and attain structural transformation of the continent. By organizing System D Africa innovations regionally, we want to highlight the importance of transnational knowledge dissemination within the continent and hereby appreciate the existing commonalities within each Regional Economic Communities (geography, culture, language, currency, visa, joint financing mechanisms, shared economic corridors). We have therefore decided to structure our entries following six regions recognized by the African Union: the four cardinal points, the central area, and the Diaspora.

To access our entries per regions, please scroll the following:
 * 1) North
 * 2) South
 * 3) East
 * 4) West
 * 5) Central
 * 6) Diaspora
