Since 1-3 decades, Africa is developing quite nicely and peacefully.

I read somewhere that they're ~100 years behind economically, but are catching up 3 years per year

Don’t forget the boost factor from new technology appearing. Even something as core and basic as farming benefits immensely from technology such as drones (better information), mobile phones and data (faster communication and coordination), and now AI (cheap personalized on-demand expert advice).

With the current progress of tech and barring any catastrophic event, soon enough it will become trivial technologically speaking to meet all human needs on any location on earth at a very low cost.

This is true of some countries in Africa and bot of others, so depends where.
