The Islamic World Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization has always endeavored to convey the enormous wealth of the region. Accordingly, The Strategic Foresight Center was created in January 2020 as an initiative of ICESCO with the support of its 54 member states during the 41^st executive council of the organization held in Abu Dhabi, in order to provide strategic responses to an increasingly uncertain and complex environment.

ICESCO has been a forerunner with respect to establishing such a center, as the organization thought of it prior to the COVID-19 crisis.

Thanks to the foresight’s concrete and scientific methodologies, ICESCO will support the development capacities of its Member States, which will result in innovative solutions.

The Strategic Foresight Center of ICESCO is the first think-tank of its kind in Africa and the Islamic world, operating with a proactive foresight approach targeting the local, regional, and international levels, a method that supports the role of the center as a hub of expertise.

At a time when the global crisis is taking hold in an unprecedented framework, The Strategic Foresight Center of ICESCO intends to navigate through the avalanches of rapid change. Aware that an alternative world is indeed at hand, The Center, therefore, strives to unveil new collective paradigms in the Islamic world and beyond.
