In the pursuit of rapid growth and development, Africa often succumbs to the temptation to jump straight to efforts to desired outcomes  while skipping perhaps intermediate past opportunities and outcomes that are achievable. Episode 15 introduces the concept of “Adjacent Possibilities “. Adjacent possibilities are the set of possibilities available to individuals, a community or institutions at a given point in time of their evolution. Successful societies evolve over time by exploiting and mastering possibilities that are adjacent and within grasp which includes solving current problems. Over time new possibilities emerge and become the new adjacent possibilities. They are mastered once again and development takes shape. Africa can develop if it patiently and competently takes advantage of its adjacent possibilities in a consistent manner.
