The African Century: Inside the Wind of Change Sweeping the Continent (Part 2)

Storytelling on Africa is often distorted — an incomplete image of war, poverty and corruption that fails to recognize its evolving political, economic and socio-cultural fabric and the success stories on the rise. The gap between reality and fiction has real-world consequences for everyday life from public health to trade and investment. In this special two-part episode of Afro-Catalyst, we unpack the downsides of the single story and how the African narrative is set to change as regional integration gives the continent a stronger collective voice on the world stage.
