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 venture philanthropy/social investment (VP/SI) as a continuum that encompasses everything from philanthropy to impact investing, CSR and sustainable investments by private businesses. We call this the The Continuum of Capital.
Increase the flow of capital into African social investments and ensure its effective deployment for maximum impact.
An African continent where collaborative and effective social investment results in exponential social impact and achievement of the SDGs.
