Demographics dictate that the next century will be Africa's, but what kind of century will it be? Will it be one of aid dependency, joblessness, and northern migration?

This panel of senior policymakers and CEOs will chart the course to a prosperous African Century driven by jobs and economic transformation: an Africa beyond aid.
