We are pleased to announce the release of Issue VI of Africa Sustainability Magazine (ASM).

This edition is dedicated to women shaping the future of sustainability and work across Africa, in recognition of International Women’s Day. Across industries, women are building businesses, influencing policy, driving innovation, and sustaining the systems that support Africa’s economies and communities.

In this issue, we explore how women are contributing to the continent’s evolving sustainability landscape — from clean manufacturing and climate innovation to the circular economy, digital entrepreneurship, and green job creation.

Highlights from the issue include:

• Women Powering the Green Industrial Shift: exploring the growing role of women in climate tech and clean industry
• From Informal to Indispensable: how women sustain Nigeria’s recycling economy
• 8 Questions, 8 Women: reflections from women working at the intersection of sustainability, finance, and innovation
• Young Women, Green Jobs, and the Future of Work in Africa
  Research insights on how digital skills are unlocking opportunities for women entrepreneurs

Issue VI brings together a powerful coincidence: every contributor featured in this edition is a woman, reflecting the growing influence of women’s voices in shaping Africa’s sustainability agenda.

At a time when the continent is navigating climate challenges, economic transformation, and industrial transition, the leadership and innovation of women will be central to building a more resilient and inclusive future.

This issue of ASM is proudly sponsored by Sterling Bank, whose continued support helps advance credible sustainability storytelling across Africa.
