Impact@Africa is a pan-African network dedicated to shaping a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable impact investment ecosystem. We bring together investors, policymakers, enterprises, and ecosystem players to catalyse investment solutions that drive social and economic transformation across the continent.

Established in 2018, Impact@Africa emerged through a multi-stakeholder effort led by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the African Union Commission (AUC), and African impact investment leaders. Recognising the critical need for alternative and innovative financing, we were founded to address barriers limiting Africa’s impact investment sector.

Impact@Africa is more than a network — it’s a movement to unlock capital, drive impact, and shape the future of investment in Africa. Whether you are an investor, entrepreneur, policymaker, or impact champion, we invite you to be part of this transformation.

Impact@Africa was established through the vision and dedication of pioneering professionals in the impact investment sector. These founding members played a crucial role in shaping the organisation’s foundation, serving in early leadership positions, and guiding its mission to build a thriving impact investment ecosystem across Africa. Their commitment and expertise were instrumental in bringing Impact@Africa to life and we are deeply grateful for their service in laying the groundwork for a stronger, more connected impact investing community.
