EVOKE agent requires local insight knowledge share ASAP
Hello there fellow EVOKE agents, I require some information, and I trust in the power of us. I wanted to know what material resources does a local man in Africa have access to. What types and conditions of metals plastics (if any) wood, rope, rubber, stone and paper are available. Also what is the local vegetation like.

Could you clarify what part of Africa you mean? It's an immense continent, with many, many different climates, ecosystems, and socioeconomic situations.

This post on AfriGadget mentions that there's a lot of plastic waste in Africa, especially in the cities - but more detail than that, and you'll need to specify where in Africa you mean and/or what situation you mean. A city dweller will be in a far different situation to someone living on a farm, after all.

Also, the post with all the 'secrets' that we all looked at for LEARN1, has the following:
"Innovate on existing platforms (We’ve got bicycles and mobile phones in Africa, plus lots of metal to weld. Innovate using that stuff, rather than bringing in completely new tech.)"

A local man in Africa has wood, bamboo, metal, leaves. But, it also depends on the location.
