Now in its fourth year, the AVCA Sustainable Investing in Africa Summit serves as a focused forum for critical dialogue on the evolving role of private capital in sustainable development across the continent. The gathering explores best practices for investing with a sustainability lens, emerging trends and risks, and innovative, homegrown solutions for long-term growth.
Guided by the theme The Capital Imperative: Turning Intent into Action, this year's Summit reaffirms AVCA's commitment to bridging the gap between bold ambitions and tangible outcomes, creating space for honest dialogue, collaboration, and forward-looking solutions. This year’s thoughtfully curated agenda highlights Africa’s most pressing challenges and transformative opportunities, showcasing real stories of innovation and resilience. From climate action, gender equity, and sustainable food systems, to rethinking ESG and impact measurement, unlocking blended finance, and harnessing frontier technologies like AI —the discussions are designed to inspire bold action and lasting change.
Join us and discover how private capital is delivering impact beyond financial returns, shaping a more equitable, resilient and sustainable future for the continent.
