Scenarios can be powerful thinking tools. They provide a common language and set of conceptual tools for thinking and talking about current events and where they might be headed. Scenarios can help us examine the assumptions we hold. They also highlight the uncertainties that lie ahead and can help us identify the opportunities and the risks they entail. These particular scenarios are aimed at widening our perspectives and broadening our understandings of the AIDS epidemics in Africa. They highlight driving forces that are influencing the evolution of the epidemics. In so doing, they can help us improve the ways we frame and engage with the challenges posed by the epidemics. In so doing, they can help clarify and improve policy and programme decisions.
