Abstract

This chapter reviews the emerging status of surrogacy in Africa. The first section provides an overall introduction, exploring themes such as surrogacy and cultural values, the rise of fertility clinics, and the importation of fertility and IVF skills (not to mention agencies) into Africa. The second section consists of country briefs of identified ‘hotspots’: these include Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Namibia, Botswana, Rwanda and Uganda. The choice of countries was dictated by detected incidences of surrogacy occurring in these countries. The third section identifies some conclusions.
