<br>
In “Fintech: Powering Inclusive Growth in Africa,” Africa Center Senior Fellow Dr. <strong>Aleksandra Gadzala</strong> helps investors and policy makers better understand the waves of fintech innovation unfolding in sub-Saharan Africa, and reflects on the enabling environments needed to ensure its success and contribution to inclusive growth. She concludes that, while not without its challenges, the long-term prospects for fintech to drive economic growth in Africa are immense.<br>

<br>
A new issue brief by Africa Center Senior Fellow Dr. <strong>Aleksandra Gadzala</strong>, “3D Printing: Shaping Africa’s Future,” catalogues the experiences of other countries facing the challenges of widespread 3D printing adoption. Gadzala argues that, at its core, 3D printing is just another manufacturing process. Yet, over time it could significantly reshape how and where things are made, with far-reaching consequences for economies that rely on low-wage, labor-intensive manufacturing. She concludes that, in the near term, Africa does not have much to gain from 3D printing, but if its governments do not start to build and support policies that compliment the advancement of these technologies, the continent will have much to lose.<br>
