In a continent rich with resources yet shadowed by scarcity, the problem is not shortage-it is a failure to share. *Africa's Fifth Resource* reveals how communities across Africa are transforming cooperation from philosophy into practical action. Through real-world examples-from Water ATMs in Turkana to solar cooperatives in Burkina Faso-Isaac Milioti shows that cooperation can be measured, rewarded, and scaled. This book offers a blueprint for sharing land, water, energy, and minerals not as commodities to be extracted, but as commons to be sustained. A must-read for anyone seeking a new vision for Africa's future.
