We believe that...

...The future can be shaped by our collective imagination, so we must craft and share our vision.

Our Perspective Papers are future-focused and document what we are sensing; we believe that this will help us prepare and bring to life the future we want.

...Our strength is our diverse and shared humanity.

Complex challenges are not solved by individuals; these papers bring African perspectives to the global conversation, and create space for a variety of voices.  


...Leadership is down to all of us, especially in a crisis:

We can all do something from where we stand; these papers are about everyday leaders, taking action and inspiring others to do the same.

...There is power in combining thinking and the practices:

Sometimes theorising becomes wistful or wishy-washy, and sometimes the practical is just plain dry; these papers surface the theoretical and capture your musings about the future, but with practical insights that might pave a way forward.
