Conference Overview
To strengthen the African Impact ecosystem, and to mark six years of enabling social investment in Africa, AVPA will be hosting its inaugural signature convening; the 2024 AVPA Conference from 4th to 6th November 2024 in Nairobi, Kenya. Themed ‘Catalysing Africa’s Sustainable Growth’, this three-day gathering promises to be a transformative experience, uniting a diverse tapestry of stakeholders across the continent’s Impact ecosystem to forge new connections and share learnings that accelerate development progress.
In recognising the critical challenge of mobilising finance for sustainable growth in Africa, this event aims to convene pivotal actors across Africa’s Impact investment landscape – ranging from capital providers and ecosystem enablers to policymakers and demand-side stakeholders. Our goal is to facilitate synergistic dialogue that explores current advancements and scopes out the future pathways for creating a conducive environment where finance is not only available but optimally impactful towards sustainable growth. We seek to foster meaningful connections and collaborations through a curated programme of engaging discussions, practical workshops, masterclasses, and immersive field visits, complemented by structured networking opportunities. These interactions will spotlight innovative financing and sustainability strategies while exploring the use of catalytic capital to drive tangible Impact across the continent.
