What Our Fellows Say About AVPA.

Wycliff Bitta 🇰🇪

Goodwell Investments BV

"I took this program to expand my lens beyond my current scope and learn from best practices from more advanced markets. I wanted to reconstruct my mental framework on how to look at impact investing. One of the things I have learnt is that you have to be deliberate when looking at impact while investing."

Kuhle Mnisi 🇿🇦

Secha Capital

"I joined the Fellowship looking to further explore my understanding of impact investing and connect with people that are equally interested in the space. The biggest lessons have been from the wealth of knowledge shared from the case studies we read to interacting with other Fellows, to the diverse guest lectures I attended. I got to see impact investing from a practical perspective."

Fabrice Nze-Bekale 🇸🇳

ACT Afrique

"Deliberate leadership is one thing I have taken away from this fellowship. I also learned that impact and financial return rank at par. I am now actively applying actionality and intentionality in my financing activities."

Dominic Isunuoya 🇳🇬

Angelus Capital Partners

"I was keen to join the fellowship because impact investing is an extension of ESG. The world is riddled with problems like climate change and many more and therefore a deliberate type of leadership is required to solve these issues, the fellowship gave me resources and tools to tackle this with new approaches."

Maya Burney 🇿🇦

Caleo Capital and Womvest Ventures.

From this fellowship, I have learned from world-class thinkers and global impact-investing practitioners as well as an impressive peer network of individuals dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging problems. I thoroughly enjoyed unpacking the nuances of wicked problems and the importance of deliberate leadership as custodians of social finance.
