Sustainability of Africa through technological innovations and indigenous knowledge systems: a discussion of key factors and way forward
Summary. African sustainable development requires integrating indigenous knowledge systems and philosophical frameworks like Ubuntu with contemporary technological innovation, rather than adopting purely Western-imposed models. The authors argue that higher education institutions must bridge indigenous knowledge practices with global development approaches, shifting away from narratives that position Africa as deficient and toward locally grounded solutions that add value to African resources while preserving the environment.
