Please join us on the sidelines of the 2024 Skoll World Forum to engage and hear from Africa's visionaries, leading Africa through great transitions, co-hosted by Africa Oxford Initiative and Archbishop Tutu Leadership Fellowship of the African Leadership Institute.
With a projected population of 2.5 billion, Africans will comprise 25% of the world’s population by 2050. Rapid demographic changes in Africa are unfolding alongside other major global transformations including a climate crisis, geopolitical tensions, escalating internal conflicts, global economic downturn, a technological revolution and new ways of living and working post the COVID-19 pandemic.
African leaders in business, academia, government and nonprofits have to contend with these issues both individually and collectively, managing their interconnectedness and intersections with the demographic changes. Through smart innovations, workarounds, and sheer determination, Africans are navigating these great transitions while building businesses, making cutting-edge scientific discoveries, driving social transformation and improving the livelihoods across the continent.
Join this session to learn how leaders from across the continent are navigating the terrain, building ecosystems for inclusive and sustainable development and creating value for both the continent and the world.
