Global Demand
Global Demand counts what the world is asking of Africa.
Daily · 45 seconds · Fourth link: demand is where influence is exercised
What the world asks of Africa, one request a day — and at what price.
Forty-five seconds: who is asking, for how much, at what price, and what Africa gets in return.
The world asks Africa for something every day: cobalt, gas, cocoa, farmland, carbon credits, votes at the United Nations, troops, data, talent. Global Demand puts a number on one request a day: who is asking, for how much, at what price, and what Africa gets in return. Five seconds for the request. Thirty for the figures: volumes, prices, buyers, contracts. Ten for the balance: what the demand is worth to the continent, and who captures the value. Sources: trade statistics, commodity markets, customs data, international organisations. Fourth link of the chain: demand is where influence is exercised.
