The report, titled “Futurica,” presents a futuristic vision of Africa's potential transformation through digitalization and good data governance. It draws inspiration from Afrofuturism but offers a unique perspective on the continent's future. The narrative is set in 2050, where Africa has embraced digital technology, leading to significant changes in work, education, and financial systems. The continent becomes highly connected, moving away from physical currency to digital transactions. However, the report also highlights the challenges of such a digital transformation, including a digital/value war that arises due to a loss of human connection and the misuse of data. The conflict lasts six years until a female leader named Abeni emerges. She promotes principles of data governance, African self-reliance, and unity with nature. Abeni's leadership and focus on human values and environmental protection help Africa recover from the digital crisis and stand out globally. The report concludes with Africa leading by example, using data to protect the planet and fostering a society where human values are rewarded.
