We invested in a process to gather data on future trends for African women, compiled in the report Futures Africa: Trends for Women by 2030. We then used this empirical base to craft an imaginative process of generating scenarios- four stories of what the future could look like for African women and women\u2019s rights if different political power dynamics and social, economic, technological and environmental trends play out.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first foresight initiative focusing indepth on gender dynamics, women\u2019s rights, and questions around the roles African women play in actively creating just futures for Africa. By designing a strategic framework based on this forward-thinking analysis, AWDF seeks to create a plan that allows for greater innovation and ways to maximise the impact of our work and that of the brave African women\u2019s organisations and movements that we support. Our commitment is to work together to build the best possible futures for the African continent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/africlub.net\/awdf\/wp-content\/uploads\/AWDF-4th-Strategic-Plan.pdf\">AWDF 4th Strategic Plan<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shaping the Future was developed out of research and exploration around how AWDF and the African women\u2019s rights organisations and activists that we resource can contribute to building a future for Africa that reflects the equality and justice that lie at the heart of our continent\u2019s progress.
