We advise, convene and deliver. Advocacy, stakeholder engagement, policy, trade and business environment reform, documentation and reporting, institutional training and end-to-end project execution across the continent.
Evidence-based advocacy on the issues that decide whether businesses start, grow and survive: access to finance, trade, regulation, taxation, skills and digital policy. We build the evidence, frame the argument for the audience that has to act on it, and carry it into the rooms where policy is set.
Public and private sector convenings, consultations, roundtables, working groups and coalition building that turn agreement into action. We map who holds influence, design the process so every voice counts, and follow through so commitments made in the room are kept outside it.
We document and track your programmes, projects and events from inception to close, capturing the data, the moments and the results, and turning them into clear reports and impact stories that satisfy funders and inform your next decision.
We help governments, regional bodies and institutions design, test and implement reforms. Regulatory diagnostics, policy design, trade facilitation, reform roadmaps, implementation support and monitoring, grounded in how African businesses actually operate.
We design and deliver training for public institutions, organisations and businesses. Executive sessions, team programmes, train-the-trainer and the facilitation of workshops, retreats and learning events, in person and online, drawing on Academy content.
We build communities of practice that build. SheBoss for women-centred solutions. Climed for climate and the environment.

Because learning is how every piece of our work lasts. Whether we are supporting a reform, running a programme or training an institution, the aim is to leave people more capable than we found them. The Academy is the learning engine behind our Services and Programmes, and it is also open to anyone who wants to learn directly.
