Seminar: Turning Africa’s vision into reality
Date: 13 May 2020
Time: 3pm (CAT)
Africa has many plans for improving economic growth and development but few have translated into reality. Speakers at this seminar will explore the continent’s projected slow growth to 2040 and the solutions presented in Dr Jakkie Cilliers’ new book, Africa First!
The impact of COVID-19 on the likely current trajectory and how it could be changed will also be discussed, taking into account a range of interventions such as on demographics, health and basic infrastructure, education, agriculture, inequality and poverty, manufacturing, leapfrogging, trade, security and governance. The event will consider what is needed to help turn Africa’s fortunes around.
Speakers:
Dr Jakkie Cilliers, Chairperson of the ISS Board of Trustees, Head of African Futures & Innovation, ISS
Dr Ibrahim Mayaki, CEO, AUDA-NEPAD

A global debate on Africa’s COVID-19 lockdown exit strategies
Governments across the world are now confronted with the major challenge of putting in place appropriate exit strategies to come out of COVID-19 lockdown measures. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa estimates that one full month of lockdown across Africa would cost the continent about 2.5% of its annual GDP (US$65 billion). In effort to limit the spread of the virus, at least 42 African countries implemented partial or full lockdowns. Several factors will undoubtedly affect each country’s exit strategy. Further, any exit strategy will need to balance the preservation of lives, whilst alleviating economic challenges and continuing to supress the spread of the virus. Some countries are beginning to announce their plans to exit and the debate around the benefit of lockdowns continues.
This debate will centre on the policy choices, challenges and risks facing governments in identifying appropriate lockdown exit options.
Introductory remarks by Vera Songwe, United Nations Under Secretary-General and Executive Secretary, Economic Commission for Africa
