African Venture Philanthropy Alliance

The African Venture Philanthropy Alliance (AVPA) is a unique and vibrant Pan-African network of social investors, established as a systematic effort to accelerate progress in addressing Africa’s daunting social challenges by increasing private social investment.

AVPA serves as a catalyst to attract, connect and empower social investors across Africa.

AVPA is African-based, African-led and substantially African-funded, and pursues its mission by providing members with critical services that better equip them to:

• Connect with other like-minded investors in Africa and around the globe;
• Learn about best practices, state-of-the-art models and tools and other techniques that increase impact;
• Influence organizations and policy makers to standardize, legislate and advance social investment;
• Scale social innovation programs and enterprises through strategic collaborations and blended finance.
