Human Rights Day is often discussed in courts and conferences. This article follows Mariama, a graduate of a women’s programme, and asks what the right to work and the right to health look like when measured in actual orders, clinic partnerships and repeat customers.
We follow Sifa, who runs a women-led hygiene cooperative, as she bids for a hospital contract that quietly goes elsewhere. Her story makes big anti-corruption frameworks feel personal, and highlights how verified, neutral marketplaces can widen the pool of visible, credible suppliers.
Through the story of Ama, a nurse, and Kofi, a local distributor, we explore how the HIV response still leans heavily on imports and how community based suppliers are often dropped once projects end. The article shows how platforms like OpenMarket Global can keep these actors visible in HIV-related supply chains.
Every year, African innovators run promising pilots in skincare, health and agriculture – then disappear when funding ends. This article shows how the “pilot trap” works, why products that proved themselves still fail to reach real markets, and how OpenMarket Global acts as the missing market layer between pilots and procurement.

Africa is sold as “the next growth frontier”, yet grounded SMEs in health, skincare and crops still struggle to raise fair, patient capital. This article explains where money actually goes, why many real suppliers are invisible to investors, and how a verified marketplace can help turn narrative into investable pipelines.

This piece maps those frictions and shows how shared discovery and verification can ease them.
