Overview
Africa is a continent undergoing dynamic transformation on many levels. It combines new potentials and ongoing challenges: economic innovation and growth alongside persistent poverty and environmental challenges, political democratisation alongside authoritarianism, social and cultural diversity and creativity alongside limited opportunities and exclusions.
Both the public and private sectors need candidates able to skillfully navigate the complexity of Africa and understand its relationship to the world.
