What does the future hold for Africa in 50 years’ time? The African Development Bank (AfDB) and the French Agency for Development (AFD) have been looking far into the future to explore what the continent will be like in 2060.  

They have looked at population trends, economic trends and challenges, climate change, natural resources and the prospects for African integration.

The result is a report called Africa in 50 Years’ Time – The Road towards Inclusive Growth, prepared by the AfDB.

The main forecasts are a decline in conflict, more urbanization, more migration and less reliance on agriculture.
