Foresight

Addressing regional and national challenges and priorities

This area of activity focuses on challenges to systems transformation in specific regions and countries – in the initial phase, in Eastern and Southern Africa and South Asia. The aim is to provide more in-depth and comprehensive foresight analysis and more immediate policy recommendations to national decision-makers and partners, including by integrating local foresight expertise, working with local partners to co-design scenarios and analyze policy options and providing actionable policy and investment recommendations that support the relevant SDGs.

Led by James Thurlow, with a multidisciplinary team of experts from around the world.
