On hippos, tigers, pancakes and soufflés: trends and challenges for African governance

In this talk Professor Stefan Dercon, Co-Director of the Oxford Martin Programme on African Governance, will discuss some of the recent and likely demographic, economics and political trends across Africa, as well as how across countries challenges are being handled. Is Africa rising to the challenges?

By no means conclusive, the talk aims to give a flavour where the risks and opportunities for change are visible across the continent and of some of the key research and policy questions debated or to be debated.
