This seminar examines the ‘development ceiling’ that the global context places on Africa in four global scenarios

Overview

On the current trajectory, the gap between Africa and the rest of the world on key development indicators is likely to increase. Recent shocks, such as COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, have accelerated this trend. Using the International Futures forecasting platform we will examine the ‘development ceiling’ that the global context places on Africa in four global scenarios, a Sustainable World, a Divided World, a World at War, and a Growth World.

Moderator: Passy Ogolla, NGFP Africa Network Weaver 

Speakers:

Arthur Muliro, Director at Society for International Development (SID)

Jakkie Cilliers, Founder and Former Executive Director of the Institute for Security Studies (ISS).
