Impact led social investment in Africa has experienced steady growth over the last decade, spurred by the need for a sustainable private sector which supports the economic and social demands of a growing young and rapidly urbanising population.
From building vital infrastructure, to creating future-proof employment, and supporting the growth of new industries, impact led investors can both address the continent’s social and economic challenges; and meet market and consumer needs.
Join us for a conversation with Frank Aswani, Chief Executive of the African Venture Philanthropy Alliance – a network of investors dedicated to unlocking new capital for social impact across Africa.
In this discussion we explore the evolution of social impact investment in Africa; examine how the UN Sustainable Development Goals funding gap has exposed systemic weaknesses; and reflect on the role of impact led investment in addressing the challenges and shaping the future of the continent.
The interview is hosted by CDC's Colin Buckley.
