This Report, Leapfrogging Development – Unlocking Africa’s Potential in Global Value Chains with Artificial Intelligence, is a collaboration between IE University's Africa Program and Accenture. It examines how artificial intelligence can help African economies move up global value chains by targeting three anchor crops—cocoa, coffee and sugarcane—across West, East and Southern Africa.
