In today’s interconnected world, where we face challenges such as climate change, economic instability, and geopolitical tensions, building resilience has become vital for achieving sustainable development.
This webinar will delve into the concept of resilience in the 21st century, focusing specifically on how African nations can develop homegrown strategies to navigate global uncertainties. Our guest speaker will discuss how countries around the world are incorporating resilience into their development plans, covering topics from disaster preparedness to economic diversification and strengthening institutions.
The discussion will emphasise Africa's unique position—balancing vulnerabilities like the impacts of climate change with inherent strengths such as its youthful population, abundant natural resources, and rich indigenous knowledge systems.
The key focus is to cultivate African-led solutions that genuinely reflect the continent's realities, rather than merely copying external models. Key areas of focus will include leveraging traditional practices, promoting regional cooperation, embracing digital innovation, and enhancing local governance structures.
