Africa is experiencing fewer wars than it did two decades ago but conflict, insecurity and the fragility of states is still a major concern for business. Politically motivated instability can be seen in countries like Burundi, South Sudan, Mali, eastern DRC, Libya and Somalia, while Nigeria and Kenya are dealing with terrorist activities.

He says companies need to be strategic about what parts of a country they invest in, and whom to partner with, as opposed to writing off an entire country.

James Mworia is one of Kenya’s most respected business leaders. At 37, he is CEO of Centum, an East African investment company with interests in a variety of sectors, including energy, real estate, financial services and fast-moving consumer goods. Mworia is credited with transforming the company, set up in 1967, by championing investments in new sectors and expanding its geographical reach. Earlier this month, Mworia spoke at an Entrepreneurship Boot Camp in Nairobi organised by talent management company, Africa Talent Bank.
