This book examines how traditional supply chain systems from different African countries offer valuable insights for addressing today’s logistics and trade challenges. While supply chain management (SCM) is recognized globally as essential to economic development, much of the literature and practice in the field is shaped by Western models that often overlook Africa’s unique cultural, social, and environmental contexts. This book responds to that gap by exploring indigenous approaches to supply chain coordination rooted in community engagement, ethical values, and resourcefulness that have long supported trade and cooperation across the continent. Drawing on examples from across Africa, the book highlights how these systems have effectively managed the movement of goods, services, and resources through informal networks, traditional governance structures, and collective practices. Rather than proposing a merger of indigenous and modern frameworks, the book shows how traditional African practices can inform more locally relevant and adaptive approaches to SCM. It also addresses the underrepresentation of African perspectives in global supply chain research and responds to growing calls to decolonize management knowledge. Through this contribution, the book positions Africa not as a case study of limitations but as a valuable source of knowledge and innovation in the global supply chain discourse.
