Recognizing that business schools in Africa do not capture the African story, the AHS through its various initiatives provides a new playing field that enhances the bridging of the knowledge, execution and capital imperfections that inhibit Africa’s trade, investment and growth potential. Simply put, the African story is told, taught and preserved. We live at a time of rapid change, development and progress in Africa and the world. In the African context this commands the attention of both local and world business leaders who seek to invest and be a part of Africa’s transformation. Whether we choose to call it the African Renaissance, the re-awakening of Africa or whatever, the fact of the matter is Africa is awake, and galloping towards modernity and progress in most fields of human endeavour. Increasingly, Africa is reclaiming the roles and functions others have done for her since the inception of colonialism. Africans have excelled in business, the arts, academia, sports, medicine etc, despite the odds against them.
