About the 2024 AVPA Conference
To strengthen the African impact ecosystem, and to mark five 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 event aims to bring together diverse stakeholders in Africa’s Impact ecosystem to forge new connections and share learnings that accelerate development progress across the continent. The conference will focus on key topics like catalytic investing, innovate finance, partnerships for impact and climate finance.
In recognising the critical challenge of mobilising finance for sustainable growth in Africa, the three-day experience 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.
