Since 2023, the U.S. – Africa Futures Summit has brought together policy experts, academics, civil society organizations, and members of the African diaspora to discuss Africa’s potential and positioning in the world while highlighting the forecasting and analysis work of the Institute for Security Studies’ African Futures program.
“We're excited to be associated with this concept of the Africa Futures Summit that puts evidence-based data and analysis at the center of policymaking about transforming Africa's potential into reality.”
Dr. Fonteh Akum, Institute for Security Studies
