The Africa Political Outlook is a strategic platform that brings together political decision-makers, diplomats, development experts and researchers to discuss concrete solutions and strategic responses to the major governance challenges facing the African continent.
Africa is at a crossroads. Profound democratic changes, the evolution of nation-states, the challenge of continental integration, the need for industrialization, the management of demographic transition, the expected reform of the international financial system, the emergence of plurilateralism, the aspirations of continental youth and the imperative need to adapt to climate change all call for a radical and demanding reinvention of current governance models.
A laboratory of ideas and a catalyst for action, the Africa Political Outlook aims to be an incubator for action and decision-making. It develops strategic intervention architectures capable of anticipating systemic crises, consolidating African democratic institutions by strengthening their resilience, and driving innovative models of political, diplomatic and economic governance that tangibly transform the lives of citizens while reinforcing Africa's normative and diplomatic power on the international stage.
Our conviction is that tomorrow's solutions cannot be born out of yesterday's silos. This is why we promote the emergence of unprecedented hybrid coalitions, bringing together traditional players and new pillars of African governance: governments, international organizations, NGOs, the private sector, development agencies, foundations, philanthropic players, religious groups, associations, think tanks, universities and civil society in all its diversity.
With a clear ambition to build a resilient, united and prosperous continent, the Africa Political Outlook acts as a crucible of political and strategic innovation, helping to forge the future of a rising Africa, strong and united, ready to play a decisive role in the concert of nations and redefine the paradigms of governance in the 21st century.
Our governance brings together the most legitimate voices to develop sustainable responses, mobilize expertise and ensure the success of APO's mission.
