There is need to disperse with certain conceptual issues here at the very onset. First is the idea of futures intelligence capacity. Second is the ‘African Dream’. At a high-level conference on Africa organized in 1990 by the Dutch government, the African problem was debated. Like many other such gatherings around that period, this meeting took place against the backdrop of an overweening pessimism about the prospects of Africa to redeem herself.
