About the Africa Futures Project
The Africa Futures Project (AFP) drives debate and research on critical issues of African politics and governance; climate change and the global energy transition; conflict and security; and geopolitics as they shape our collective future.
AFP is committed to engaging with stakeholders at all levels and centering the perspectives of African policymakers, scholars, and experts.
It is Co-Chaired by Natalie Colbert, Belfer Center Executive Director, and Dr. Zoe Marks, Lecturer in Public Policy and Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Center for African Studies.
Africa Insight: Current Affairs on Africa in Global Politics
This first edition publication serves as a flagship product and highlights just some of the original and innovative analysis being undertaken by HKS faculty and students. We hope by sharing it with the world, we can strengthen dialogue and discussion of African futures and contribute to the impressive array of knowledge and innovation emerging from African countries.
Our Work
We explore three primary areas shaping Africa’s future at the national, regional, and global levels: Politics and Security; Climate and the Energy Transition; and Geopolitical Competition and Cooperation.
