Multinational - African Philantropy Alliance

The African Philantropy Alliance (AVPA) is designed to increase the flow of capital into social investments in Africa and ensure that this capital is deployed as effectively and innovatively as possible for maximum social impact. The Knowledge Center is a critical part of the AVPA that focuses directly on increasing the effectiveness of social impact investors in deploying their capital to strengthen and scale small and medium social enterprises (SMSE’s) on the continent. The project is expected to generate two core outcomes: (1) Increased capacity and effectiveness of social investors; (2) Improved access to capital deployed by social investors for promising social enterprises in Africa. It comprises two components, namely: (i) Knowledge Production and Dissemination; (ii) Capacity Building and Development.
