Foresight For Development: promoting the use of foresight for Africa's futures

Democratic futures?

Democracy is our theme for May 2011: Is a wave of democracy sweeping across the African continent? Will the African future be democratic? FFD.org profiles what futurists and the foresight community have to say about the presence of democracy in African futures.

Future forward

Feature foreword: New features on our revamped web portal that put us future forward:
> Bibliozone selects foresight and futures studies publications linked to May's theme of democracy.
> 20:20 Vision juxtaposes events from 1991 with those predicted by futurists for 2031.
> Talk-@-ive is our choice of must-read quotes about Africa, the future and democracy.
> Videophile offers a range of videos on Africa, the future, social media and democracy.

Futurist profile

Meet Aidan Eyakuze: Every month FFD.org profiles a futurist from the continent, and in May it is Aidan Eyakuze, project director at SID and director of Serengeti Advisers Ltd.
Aidan tells us how he got involved in foresight, who influenced his thinking, and what are the barriers to uptake of foresight knowledge on the continent. He also provides suggestions to those wanting to get involved in foresight and futures studies.

On the horizon

Coming in June: FFD.org's theme for June is foresight, Africa and environment. Don't miss it.

New features: In June, FFD.org will introduce a new feature, 'Future Frames', that visualises the future. We're also building a map of foresight initiatives on the African continent.
