African Futures

The African Futures platform, powered by the International Futures modelling tool from the University of Denver, provides forecasts for every African country and region through 2043. It analyzes 17 thematic areas, including climate change and energy, and compares a 'Current Path' against eight thematic scenarios and a combined Agenda 2063 scenario to simulate the impact of policy interventions.

• The African Futures platform models development futures for all African countries, regions, regional economic communities, and World Bank income groups, with a forecast horizon extending to 2043.
• The platform analyzes 17 thematic areas, which include agriculture, climate change, energy, manufacturing, financial flows, leapfrogging, and the AfCFTA.
• The modeling framework compares a 'Current Path' against eight thematic scenarios and a combined Agenda 2063 scenario, which represents the cumulative effect of all themes.
