摘要：

African logistics and supply chain management capabilities are essential to the performance of the continent's commercial and humanitarian supply chains (SCs). This article reviewed the challenges for researchers and practitioners in advancing logistics and SC performance through developing appropriate capabilities. A literature review and landscape mapping were followed by semistructured interviews with 45 stakeholders from industry bodies, academia, funding bodies, consultants, specialists, and academics, confirming the capability and opportunity gaps in the current landscape. A meta-framework for sustainable institutional capacity development was constructed based on the empirical data that were gathered, and SC capacity development recommendations were proposed. © 1973-2011 IEEE.
