Foresight for Development

The Foresight for Development initiative was sponsored by The Rockefeller Foundation and it was developed by the Southern Africa Node of the Millennium Project to serve as an open access and public interest resource. It supports the effective use of foresight for Africa’s future by aggregating, enhancing and promoting futures thinking and practice in Africa.
The online platform provides futurists and foresight practitioners, intellectuals and academics, policymakers, civil society organisations, the media, university and college students, and the donor community free access to aggregated, credible foresight and futures content from and about Africa.
