We will explore ten bold bets that could fundamentally change Africa\u2019s future\u2014from becoming a global space power and ending energy poverty, to feeding itself, building industries, harnessing artificial intelligence and unlocking the economic power of its oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are not predictions. They are possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some may sound ambitious. Others may seem impossible today. But every great transformation begins with someone willing to ask, <strong>\u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Africa has the people, resources, markets, creativity and knowledge to think bigger about its future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question is whether we will turn that potential into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the coming weeks, we explore <strong>10 Moonshots for the Africa We Want.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The future will not be given to Africa. Africa must build it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1675,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[337,502],"tags":[89,572,576,571,148,323,578,574,577,33,31,573,321,575],"class_list":["post-1673","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-agenda-2063","category-development","tag-afcfta","tag-africa-we-want","tag-africas-future","tag-africas-moonshots","tag-african-development","tag-african-innovation","tag-african-manufacturing","tag-african-space-industry","tag-african-technology","tag-african-union","tag-agenda-2063","tag-energy-in-africa","tag-food-security-africa","tag-pan-african-development"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
