REPORT (January 2020) - Foresight Africa: Top priorities for the continent 2020-2030

Title:
Foresight Africa: Top priorities for the continent 2020-2030

By:
Africa Growth Initiative at Brookings Institution, January 2020

From the forword:
"For over 10 years, the Brookings Institution’s Africa Growth Initiative (AGI) has been at the forefront of a diverse array of policy debates impacting the African continent. The initiative houses some of the very best scholars Brookings has to offer, and its director, Dr. Brahima S. Coulibaly, serves as one of the brightest thought leaders not only at Brookings, but across the entirety of this discipline. Impact is not simply an objective for AGI—it’s a regular outcome—and the Initiative’s work has consistently been foundational in framing the most pressing issues facing Africa in the present moment. 

At the pinnacle of AGI’s success is the team’s flagship publication, Foresight Africa, which has, for many years, operated as a platform for some of the most influential and innovative thinkers of our time. This year’s publication is, however, something truly special—a trend-setting assessment of the top priorities for Africa over the next decade. From the prospects of the Sustainable Development Goals to opportunities for greater job creation and the embracing of technologies like artificial intelligence, Foresight Africa 2020 provides the depth of expertise that has defined AGI for over a decade."
