Practicability: This study solely employed a secondary literature analysis; other researchers can do the same investigation using different methods like the qualitative techniques that entail interviews or quantitative approaches. It also highlighted the bond processes and enablers based on the experiences of three countries that pioneered bond issuance. Further research can look at more or different countries for drawing lessons.
Originality; This is the first article to present an overview of bonds, bond market participants, processes and enablers. As well as, the first paper to draw lessons for African countries based on the first-time experiences of Senegal, South Africa and United states of America.
