The article "Entrepreneurship in Africa: A Review of Growth and Challenges" by Olubusola Odeyemi et al. explores the dynamic landscape of entrepreneurship in Africa, highlighting both its growth drivers and persistent challenges. The review underscores the significant role of demographic shifts, urbanization, and technological advancements in fostering entrepreneurial activity. Government initiatives, international partnerships, and a growing culture of innovation are key drivers of this growth. However, the article also identifies several challenges, including infrastructure deficiencies, limited access to financing, regulatory complexities, and political instability. Additionally, cultural and educational disparities, particularly in gender equality, pose significant obstacles. The authors emphasize the need for tailored strategies to address these challenges, such as improving infrastructure, promoting inclusive financing, simplifying regulations, and fostering a supportive educational environment. By addressing these issues, Africa can unlock its entrepreneurial potential and drive sustainable economic development. The article concludes with recommendations for policymakers, investors, and stakeholders to create a more favorable environment for entrepreneurship, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and comprehensive approaches to support the continent's entrepreneurial ecosystem.The article "Entrepreneurship in Africa: A Review of Growth and Challenges" by Olubusola Odeyemi et al. explores the dynamic landscape of entrepreneurship in Africa, highlighting both its growth drivers and persistent challenges.
