Scenario planning is a concept that helps us to make predictions about the future. It is often used in corporate strategy to analyse key factors that may impact and influence the business objectives from the operating environment.

For countries, scenario planning can help to mitigate risks and set in motion policy incentives that cushion against the most adverse impacts. For instance, it could help governments prepare better for national disasters such as floods and drought.

In Kenya, the youth bulge has been discussed in different settings as a potential resource in national development or a “ticking time bomb.” Dr. Katindi Sivi who is our guest today was one of the first people to deeply question the role of the youth in the country and will help us think differently about the future of the country.

She is a futurist, a policy analyst and an expert on strategic planning. She currently works as the Director of the LongView Group, a Principal trainer at Africa Foresight Lab, and an Adjunct Lecturer at Strathmore University.
