Kenya and France’s Africa Forward Summit comes at a pivotal moment. Africa's position in global governance is rising.

African countries have embassies in the world's most important capitals, boasting prime locations and a physical presence that signals sovereignty and status. Yet, in the digital spaces where investors form views, policymakers assess risk, and narratives about entire economies and societies are shaped daily, many African nations are nowhere to be found.

Having overseen a rapidly rising number of disease outbreaks in recent years, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention ( @AfricaCDC ), under its Director-General, Dr Jean Kaseya, has entered a new era of high-intensity, high-stakes public health leadership. As global experts warn that rising health emergencies and systemic vulnerabilities in under-resourced regions, including across Africa, increase the likelihood of future pandemics, even as foreign aid declines, Kaseya’s mission has never been more critical. He has pushed Africa CDC to innovate, overseeing new financing mechanisms, expanding partnerships, and elevating the institution’s visibility on the global stage. Maintaining direct and continuous engagement with African Heads of State, Kaseya has championed a bolder, more communicative Africa CDC, one that shapes public health narratives rather than merely reacting to crises. In 2025, he stands out as a leader with the experience and institutional authority required to navigate an era defined by constant and evolving health threats. @Dr_JeanKaseya
