Manufacturing Africa's future: Jobs, growth, and sustainability

The manufacturing sector and associated operations have the power to drive an economy forwards. This episode of McKinsey Talks Operations looks at the critical role of production in Africa's growth and development: with Africa's population set to double by 2050, the need for sustainable job creation is paramount.

Host Daphne Luchtenberg is joined by Dr. Amy Jadesimi, Managing Director of LADOL, and David Meredith and Kannan Lakmeeharan from McKinsey & Company, about how the Manufacturing Africa Initiative is providing a blueprint for the growth of the manufacturing sector. They discuss the transformative potential of manufacturing, the initiative's goals, and the impact it's already making.
