1:37:22Now PlayingAfrica and the Future of Multilateralism: Toward Sustainable, Effective and Transformative Partnerships
Africa is a continent transition. By the year 2050, one in four people on the planet will be African, and many are working to realize Africa’s demographic, energy, industrial, agricultural, technological and human development potential. But that transition is not taking place in a vacuum. The world is increasingly fragmented on critical global issues, including those affecting Africa. And the recent series of coup d’etats in the Sahel, the severe impact of climatic shocks and ongoing violent conflicts underline the need for a unified approach among Africans and the international community regarding the continent’s future.
Join USIP for the Africa Futures Summit to examine approaches to catalyze Africa’s potential to benefit and shape the global system. Discussions will draw on the African Futures research, forecasting and policy analysis led by the Institute for Security Studies, along with perspectives from Africa, the African Diaspora and American experts.
