TRANSCRIPT

ORDU: Welcome to Foresight Africa, a podcast that celebrates Africa’s dynamism and explores strategies for broadening the benefits of growth to all people of Africa. I’m your host, Aloysius Uche Ordu, senior fellow and director of the Africa Growth Initiative at the Brookings Institution.

 I’m excited to be with you on this journey—a journey that will take us from Cape Town to Cairo; from Dakar to Lagos to Mombasa; as well as to the heart of Africa—DRC Congo.

In this podcast we will interview experts, and policymakers from the public sector, the private sector, civil society, and Africa’s youths. We will talk about the key trends affecting people and the nations of the African continent.

I will encourage you to follow the Brookings Podcast Network @policypodcasts and visit us online at brookings-edu-2023.go-vip.net/ForesightAfricaPodcast.
