abstract = "The impact of global logistics and supply chain strategy has generated intense debate in both the academic sector and industry. But the significance of trade logistics infrastructure as a prerequisite for easier and better movement of goods and services in the twenty-first-century Africa has attracted little attention. Researchers and business analysists on Africa agree that Africa's economies are growing as the continent emerges as a strategic trading bloc with a growing wealth and urban-centric population. there are however, growing concerns that poor logistical freight infrastructure, such as road and rail networks, air and seaports, as well as inadequate modern technologies pose difficult challenges to trade within Africa and between Africa and the rest of the world.
