African Venture Philanthropy Alliance (AVPA)
AVPA is a Pan-African network for social investors who are interested in collaborating to increase the flow of capital into social investments across Africa and ensure that capital (financial, human and/or intellectual) is deployed as effectively and innovatively as possible for maximum social impact. We view venture philanthropy/social investment (VP/SI) as a continuum that encompasses everything from philanthropy to impact investing, CSR and sustainable investments by private businesses.

I hope that we can contribute to the wider community with our own learnings around funding the SDGs and how we can galvanise innovative or blended finance models . We work social investors who are interested in collaborating to increase the flow of capital into social investments across Africa and ensure that capital (financial, human and/or intellectual) is deployed as effectively and innovatively as possible for maximum social impact.
