In this season, Signé and his guests look beyond the headlines to provide the strategic analysis needed to navigate today’s complex economic, legislative, and policy agendas. Throughout the season, episodes will tackle the critical issues defining U.S.-Africa engagements ranging from the future of the African Growth and Opportunity Act to the strategic implications of critical minerals and supply chains, energy security, trade and investment, and the growing role of AI and emerging technologies in fixing socioeconomic challenges.

SIGNÉ: In a year of shifting trade alliances, intensifying global competition, and pivotal elections, what does the future of U.S.-Africa relations look like? Not just in theory, but on the ground?
Welcome to a new season of Foresight Africa podcast from the Brookings Institution. I am Landry Signé, your host and a senior fellow at Brookings, where I focus on U.S.-Africa relations, economic transformation, AI, and global strategy.
In this podcast, I look beyond the headlines to provide the strategic analysis needed to navigate today’s complex economic, legislative, and policy agendas. Throughout the season, my distinguished guests and I will tackle the critical issues defining U.S.-Africa engagements ranging from the future of the African Growth and Opportunity Act to the strategic implications of critical minerals and supply chains, energy security, trade and investment, and the growing role of AI and emerging technologies in fixing socioeconomic challenges.
We don’t just report on the continent. We forecast its trajectory.
