Dr Jakkie Cilliers is often described as “an African Futurist” who has authored a couple of thought-provoking books including this latest one - Africa’s Road To Prosperity: 10 Things To Know.
He looks at main factors that will shape Africa’s economic and political future. I like the introductory sentence “This is not a feel-good book.” Haha.
I’ll be sitting down for a conversation with Dr Cilliers at an event organised by @issafrica and @HSF_Kenya this evening.
Africa’s future holds possibilities. What turns them into progress?
In Africa’s Road to Prosperity, Dr. Cilliers explores energy, trade, leadership and jobs.
The launch begins the conversation. Open the book to follow it further. #BookLaunch #AfricanDevelopment
