Celebrating a decade of commitment towards Africa

Eleven years ago, The Times of Africa began with a thread of affection that over time weaved into a lifelong relationship with the African continent. With an aspiration to ‘Bring Africa to the World’, we resolved to work for this dynamic demography and turned that resolution into a reality.

Here we are - celebrating more than a decade of commitment towards Africa. As the sun rises to mark a new day and we get a year older, we look back in anticipation. We acknowledge and appreciate this journey as The Times of Africa comes back to print after a hiatus of two years.

With information reaching readers at a blink-and-miss speed, it was important to adapt to the ever-evolving digital technology. Thus, The Times of Africa went completely digital, allowing us to provide information to our readers in real-time irrespective of their geographical position.

However, we received feedback from our readers that their bookshelves missed the presence of the hardcover. Hence, on popular demand, The Times of Africa is back in print to cater to its readers.

This is a pivotal juncture in our relationship with Africa. Through all these years, our association with Ambassadors and the esteemed staff members of all the Embassies of Africa in India and the Indian diplomatic missions in Africa has only strengthened with time. As we herald towards an era of new beginnings, we seek your support and blessings, especially the High Commissioners and Ambassadors of African missions in India.

The name of a publication stands tall only because of its readers. Thus, with a hold on the present and an eye on the future, we, The Times of Africa, endeavour to expand our reach to create awareness about the potential of the African continent.

What does women empowerment mean to you?

Does one have to be a feminist to support women empowerment? And what does feminism stand for?

As many people, as many interpretations! The essence, however, of all the political and social movements, ideologies and belief is EQUALITY OF THE SEXES. Many would argue that if the core of the concern is equality, then why give special emphasis on the upliftment of women?

Because since the ancient era, women have been subjected to suppression and inequality; they have been denied the right to make decisions about their own life. And this had to change!

One of the tools to bring about that change is by increasing the representation and participation of women in the economic territory. Today, we see women carving their space in the male –dominated corporate world. However, it is the informal sector where women are really ruling the roost.

In our cover story, Women and the Formula of Informal Economy, we bring cases of the markets of three African nations – Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana – and how women have moved from the consumer to the trader side of the business.

Read our extensive coverage on the BRICS Summit 2018 and the 73rd United Nations General Assembly, where leaders from across the world gathered to brainstorm solutions on the burning global issues of the century.

In Focus is our analysis on how the entire city of Cape Town ran ‘almost’ completely out of water.

Explore with us our Spotlight Country Ghana and unleash your Power of Discernment for life is all about the choices we make!

The year 2018 saw a major controversy surrounding the use, rather the abuse of digital technology. It was how social media giant Facebook exposed about 87 million users’ private data to Cambridge Analytica, a London-based elections consultancy data firm linked to American President Donald Trump. This incident triggered renewed debate on the perils and the devils that piggyback on the rewards of ‘Digital Technology’ or the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution.’ 
But isn’t every invention born with its set of pros and cons? Whether the innovation becomes a demon or an angel depends upon how we make use of it. If security-breach is a major threat of the Internet, we also have heart-warming stories from all over the globe – especially the African continent – of how digital technology is not only improving lives but also saving them. 
In Kenya, for example, the Toto Health app is helping expecting women and parents of young children by sending text and voice messages tailored to stages of pregnancy or a child’s age. 
International establishments such as the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Africa and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) are building platforms to scale digital health at the national level in respective countries, build a capable workforce to effectively use Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as well as address the need of multi-stakeholders partnerships for sustainable adoption of digital health. 
Our Cover Story, ‘Transform Africa Summit: Bigger, Better, Smarter,’ thus, extensively elaborates the experience and innovations shared by industry leaders as well as young aspiring techpreneurs. In Focus is the Indian President H.E. Ram Nath Kovind’s third visit to Africa. The events covered include the founding conference of the International Solar Alliance and the International Energy Forum Ministerial Meeting. 
In addition, read on to find how the power to co-operate can change the world!

"From Resolutions to Reality!
Madonna Public School, Ghana, was probably where it all started from where a
young Indian boy received his schooling. Growing up in this west-African nation,
he observed how his parents, both doctors, worked tirelessly for the welfare of the
local people. Somehow, he felt a sense of belonging and warmth in this foreign
land. Little had he thought that this thread of affection would guide him to weave a lifelong
relationship with the African continent. He resolved to work for this dynamic demography and
turned it into a reality.
Cut to 2018 and here we are! Celebrating 10 years of ‘The Times of Africa’. As the sunset rolls and
we get a year older, we look back in anticipation, acknowledge and appreciate this journey through
our ‘10th Anniversary Special’ feature.
The year 2017 has been unpredictable, to say the least, as long-established norms have been
broken and transitions - political, economic, and social – have taken place all over the continent.
Our Cover Story ‘Zimbabwe Shall Rise Again’ highlights the first army intervention in the country’s
politics since it gained independence from Britain in 1980 and the dramatic change in leadership
that followed.
For over a decade, we have defied stereotypes and redrawn the lines to provide extensively
researched reliable content for our robust readership network that includes diplomatic missions,
intergovernmental organisations corporate and export houses, and international institutions.
Through all these years, our association with ambassadors and the esteemed staff members of all
the embassies of Africa in India and the Indian diplomatic missions in Africa has only strengthened
with time. And the year 2018 not only marks our 10th anniversary but also is a pivotal juncture in
the relationship that we have with Africa. From here, we herald towards an era of new beginnings.
The name of a publication stands tall only because of its readers."

Inexhaustible minerals, abundant opportunities 
Life’s unfairness doesn’t give us the license to walk the wrong path, for life is not fair on anybody. Most of the people in the world have some preconceived notions about Africa. Majority of these notions are embedded in the bed of hearsay perceptions, which judge Africa as the continent without ample remunerative opportunities. 
However, the African economies are surging up in terms of economic development, which could well be attributed to various sectors enriched with frenzied business opportunities. Our cover story ‘Mining: A Sector Rich with Fortunes’ specifically discusses this industry of Africa, which is the largest in the world. We, certainly, cannot afford to miss that Africa is one of the leading producers of gold and diamonds. 
Though the African countries have low rankings on the scale of ‘ease of doing business’, but African governments are reforming the rigid policies to encourage and attract more investors. India, as its ‘Special Partner in this Special Development’, is efficaciously playing its role. Read on to find out how the ‘Namaskar Africa’ programme proved to be ‘A Progress of Conviction’ encouraging entrepreneurs to have ‘An address on the bridge between India and Ghana’. 
Moving from the brick-and-mortar economy, our coverage on the Indo-Africa ICT Expo held in Lagos, Nigeria reiterated ‘How the Digital Vision of Developing Nations’ can help in ‘Evolving together in the digital world’ ‘Using technology as a platform as well as a medium’. 
With opinions from the highest rank in the administrative hierarchy to fresh perspectives of the youth, this edition highlights the crucial change that the continent is going through. Does Africa has ‘The Courage to Change’ to ‘Rewrite the rules of the global economy’?
Yes, it has!
There is an African proverb-" Turn your wounds to wisdom."
Let's hope for the best and keep our fingers crossed.

There are several connotations associated with Africa. Majority of them being dark continent, underdeveloped, poor countries, poverty stricken, etc. However, Africa has been proving all these connotations wrong. Today, Africa is home to many of the world’s fast growing economies. Africa is consistently striding on the path of prosperity.
Africa is home to abundant resources. One such resource is the energy sector, which is directly proportional to the economic growth and prosperity. Energy fosters the possibilities of growth and overall development of a country. The African energy sector has a huge potential to get established and scatter the gleaming glitters of its inherent potential. The issue focus of this edition is energy sector in Africa. The cover story revolves around the African assets in the energy sector and the initiatives which are on a quest to encourage and promote the use of renewable energy in Africa. 
This edition brings a special feature on the highly coveted ‘Transform Africa Summit 2017’, which aims to digitally revolutionize Africa and empower every citizen of the continent with technology-driven solutions, along with the special coverage feature on AfDB’s Annual Meetings 2017, whose theme revolved around revolutionizing the agriculture sector in Africa.
We hope for a gleeful future of Africa’s energy sector, along with the promising future of renewable energy. The renewable energy sector would not only foster the possibilities of rapid economic growth, but would also provide a horizon drenched in infinite business and investment opportunities.


It is a now a widely acknowledged fact that the world’s ten youngest nations by population are mainly in Africa. One can thus envisage the beaming future that lies ahead for this continent! The young brains are drivers of a nation, and have the potential and ambition to take the economy from the fringes to the forefront. And this juggernaut is practically emerging as the next big thing by giving wings to its dreams in the form of Start-ups.
Thomas Edison, co-founder of General Electric, once said, “The value of an idea lies in using it.” Sometimes, the right path is not the easiest. Similarly, a goal without a plan is just a wish. Our cover story in the May 2017 edition, ‘Start-ups: growth stimulating key elements,’ aptly sums up this sentiment that authentic, tangible notions, catering to what people need and what has not been done, when aligned with passion and perseverance, can prove to be a game-changer in the conventional way of doing business. 
As they say, novel ideas can turn rags into riches and also ducklings into swans; the editor’s perspective captivates the inspiring story of the expedition ‘From Maggots to Millions’, while our post-analysis features elaborate developments on ‘India-Ethiopia: the journey so far and the way forward’, how Mali and India are ‘Inking progress: in letter and in spirit,’ and ‘Why do we still need an International Women’s Day?’
With ‘Senegal re-launching its air transport’, we bring exclusive developments from the African continent, including excerpts of a rendezvous with the President of the African Development Bank, and also the countries that are oiling the wheels of Africa’s growth engines.


The relationship between India and Africa has been an old one. The world is an eyewitness of our historical association in many aspects. Be it our struggle against colonialism or our fight for attaining independence and liberty. At present, India and Africa both are looking ahead to grow and strengthen the roots of their bond. There is a famous adage by Thomas Carlyle that goes, “He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything.” Indeed! With the engagement and empowerment of more and more people, healthcare has become one of the largest industries in the world. However, health care system of any region or country must focus on three prospects: high quality, universal coverage and cost-effectiveness. Our cover story, “African Healthcare Industry on Surge,” emphasizes on the value of Africa’s pharmaceutical industry and how can this continent achieve better health outcomes in an uncertain, but interesting future.

When the third India-Africa Forum Summit was held in October 2015, it emerged as a platform for bringing together the Indian and African entrepreneurs and decision makers under the same roof. Hence, its continuation was sought. Our cover story “An Amalgamation- the CII-EXIM Bank Conclave 2017”, for the March edition celebrates this integration of the unbeatable combination of a resurgent Africa and a developing India. 
This time the Editor’s Perspective focuses on Mozambique, which is emerging as a new corporate magnet, what does it take to “Be an Entrepreneur”, and why you should “Think of Ghana, when you Think of Business.”   
Flip through to read about how you can “Earn Profits while Moulding Young Lives”, know about the “Vibrancy of Kenya and Gujarat” and take a trip to “The Landlocked Spectacle i.e. Ethiopia.”
