Sustainable development in developing countries, particularly in Africa,
has been of interest among scholars, practitioners and policymakers for
decades. There is increased acknowledgment of Indigenous knowledge as an
underexploited, yet invaluable source of sustainable development in
emerging markets. This paper thus examines the constructs of
Africapitalism management philosophy and indigenous knowledge. We
examine diverse ways through which Africapitalism can embed indigenous
knowledge systems as a key growth driver for sustainable socio-economic
development. Finally, we discuss the implications for researchers and
policy makers.
