This report presents a bold new vision for strengthening human security across Africa. It comes at a moment of converging crises — from climate shocks and food shortages to conflict, digital threats, and fragile institutions. It calls for a next-generation model of human security, grounded in African values and lived realities.

At its core is a practical Human Security Policy Tool designed to help policymakers anticipate risks and make more informed decisions. Rooted in evidence and aligned with both Agenda 2063 and the SDGs, this is a distinctly African roadmap for resilience, stability, and long-term prosperity.
