On the current trajectory, the gap between Africa and the rest of the world is likely to stagnate or increase ranging from measures of life-expectancy to average income. Four recent shocks, including the current war in Ukraine, have accelerated this trend. The African Future’s & Innovation (AFI) program at the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) has modelled Africa’s long-term development potential across various sectors. This seminar will present a new report which examines the ‘development ceiling’ that the global context places on Africa in four global scenarios. Dr Jakkie Cilliers will present using the African Futures website available at futures.issafrica.org.
Hosted by GIGA Institute for African Affairs in cooperation with the GIGA Research Programme "Peace and Security".
