The AVPA Deal Share Platform for Africa fosters collaboration amongst diverse social investors to achieve greater collective impact. See How Deal Share Works for more information.
The Deal Share Platform is Live!
In November 2020, AVPA launched the first Deal Share Platform pilot, focused on:
- Gender (supporting women entrepreneurs, gender lens investment, benefitting women and girls)
- COVID-19 (health care systems, economic recovery, agribusiness)
The pilot fostered collaboration amongst diverse social investors (philanthropists, foundations, impact investors, corporates, donors, etc.) deploying capital in West, East and Southern Africa. The pilot ran through March 2021.
