ABSTRACT

African Digital Futures convened 22 next-generation changemakers together with African futurists and next-generation thinkers in early 2021 to launch provocative conversations on data-driven technology as imagined, developed, and used by communities across the continent. These next-generation changemakers used collective intelligence methods to anticipate the future and worked alongside leading experts in African history, culture, journalism, storytelling, agriculture, education, civic technology, environmental activism, and scenario development who facilitated and informed the conversations. The stories and insights have been shared openly to encourage discussion and debate.
