Unlocking Africa’s impact economy

Impact investment in Africa faces systemic challenges, from policy gaps to ecosystem fragmentation and Impact@Africa exists to change this.

Established through a multi-stakeholder effort by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), African Union Commission (AUC), and African impact leaders, we launched in 2018 with the aim of breaking down barriers, connecting key players, and driving ecosystem growth. Through research, advocacy, and capacity-building, we create the conditions for sustainable investment to thrive, supporting Africa’s Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Join us in building a future where capital drives real, lasting change.

Since 2018, Impact@Africa has played a key role in advancing the impact investing ecosystem across the continent.
