THE AFRICA 21ST CENTURY CLOCK
Background:
Africa trails the rest of the world in most development indicators. In 2000, this fact was reflected in a report titled, “Can Africa Claim the 21st Century?” According to this report by the World Bank, at the turn of the 20th century, Africa had gloomy social, economic and political conditions. 200 of every 1,000 children died before age 5; foreign aid constituted almost half of public spending; and at least one African in five lived in a country severely disrupted by war.
Solution:
In 2021, in response to the lingering challenges of the continent, Remake Africa was founded. As we approach 2025, we are confronted with a sense of urgency amid a quarterly milestone in Africa’s 21st-century prospects, analogous to 6am if the entire century were fitted into a 24-hour clock. We are jolted by the fact that the “6am of the 21st century” corresponds to a stage in the circadian rhythm or biological clock characterised by a transition from sleepiness to wakefulness with the body set to arise. More than a decade since the “Africa Rising” phenomenon, we seek to awaken Africa through the Africa 21st-Century Clock.
