The transformation of Africa into a single actor with a vision of peace, stability and solidarity requires new analytics, system tools, impetus and leadership. This is a process that falls under the Capacitary Moon Shot to ensure the complete transformation of the continent, which requires new indicators and the abandonment of traditional approaches such as strategic planning and public management, capacity needs assessment and results-based management.

The definition of the Transformation Steps and Process of is the main purpose of CT Analytics. Impact Mapping provides a better understanding of its foundations if it is part of the global scenarios.

The analysis focuses on how to include CT in the Agenda of regional, continental and transcontinental actors.

The key concept of this inclusion is the Policy Cycle and its integration into the TC Cycle to enable each actor to develop its own Capacity Transformation Agenda while ensuring its compatibility with that of other regional communities, African areas and transcontinental spaces.

In practice, TC Analytics is based on the examination, within the TCA Lab, of concrete transformation experiences and case studies using indicators of Scalability, Assortativity and Defixator steering.

SUMMARY

In a moon shot perspective, Africa's Capacitary Transformation:

• Focus on the vision and interactions with global scenarios and options
• Transforms peace, stability and solidarity into social, climate, institutional, structural, digital and technological reality
• Has a lasting and inclusive impact on common well-being and living conditions
• Focuses on the three characteristics that make CT a scalable, assortative and defixator process.
• Increases Africa's capacity to evolve in the 21st century world; influence Peace, Stability and Solidarity; the mix varies according to the state of each space, zone or region in the face of challenges

A. Impact mapping
1. multiply the angles of attack
2. adapt the scale of answers
3. carry out robustness tests and cross impact analysis
4. assess the need for a vision and identify barriers to CT
B. Agenda setting
C. Integration of the Policy Cycle into the Capacitary Transformation Cycle

• Carry out a series of analyses to better understand the morphology of the scenarios and to navigate with a compass that is essential given their exploratory dimension:

• Evaluate the characteristics of the process:

• Address new wild cards and weak signals by identifying major requirements to adapt the response scale.

• Test the robustness and impact of responses using scoping, classification and adequacy criteria
• Carry out cross impact analyses on the themes of the vision and the global scenarios in order to singularize the wild cards, weak signals and ultra-traces

• Draw lessons from the variety of capacity transformation plans conducted in Africa under different names (Economic Development Plan, SAP, Poverty Reduction Strategy,  Emergency Plan, Emergence or Structural Transformation Plan...)
• Name and stop mechanical attempts to transpose approaches (Marshall Plan, EU, KCS Master Plan) into Africa, aggravated by limited specification of requirements.
• Identify those obstacles to the ACT that encourage conflict, instability, every man for himself and ultimately promote dependence on external aid and the devaluation of young African talent through irregular migration.
