Africa’s Future Needs a Custom Blueprint | Timothy Timbiti | TEDxMakerere University Business School

What if the solutions we import are the very things holding us back? After working across more than 20 countries and engaging at global forums, Timothy Timbiti began to notice a pattern: many of the world’s biggest development conversations overlook one critical variable; context. In this data-driven and visionary talk, Timothy explores Africa’s demographic trajectory, the explosive growth of youth populations, and the intersection of policy, technology, and entrepreneurship. He argues that innovation without policy awareness is risk, and that technology without contextual grounding can create unintended consequences. Drawing from his work in digital transformation and advisory roles across sectors, he introduces a forward-looking framework: align policy, leverage technology, and architect ecosystems — not just businesses. Timothy Timbiti is a digital transformation strategist with over 15 years of experience partnering with governments, NGOs, and institutions across 20+ countries to design inclusive and future-ready digital ecosystems.
