  ABSTRACT: The China-Africa partnership is presently facing certain setbacks, which are likely to affect their relationships if proper measures are not put in place. Hence, this study investigates the challenges affecting technology transfer between the two sides by creating a platform through which reliable solutions can be generated. Using the case study analysis and the Fuzzy AHP approach, several problems are identified in this study, including management and strategic issues, marketing concerns, technical issues, environmental difficulties, and regulatory concerns. From the analysis, the management and strategic problems are ranked the most essential in technology transfer, through marketing issues, technological challenges, environmental issues, and, thus, the regulatory problems. Such ranking helps in prioritizing which problems to address first to attain competitive technology transfer between the two sides. With the knowledge generated from the study, managers and other stakeholders involved in the China-Africa partnership will be able to facilitate the successful business relationship and ensure sustainable growth on a global scale.
