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 the investment ecosystem as a continuum that encompasses everything from philanthropy to impact investing, CSR and sustainable investments by private businesses. We foster learning and collaboration to improve the flow of capital into social investments to achieve the SDGs across Africa.
