ABOUT US
Since 2019 we have worked with governments, development partners, institutions and businesses to create the conditions for sustainable economic prosperity, and we have built the communities of people who turn those conditions into livelihoods.
We started with a simple conviction: Africa can only achieve true and sustainable economic prosperity, when its founders, innovators and wider community of practice are supported and empowered to build and deploy solutions to the continent's hardest problems. We began by teaching.
Today we advise governments and development partners on reform, convene the people who have to agree for change to happen, train the institutions that carry it out, and deliver programmes on the ground.
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.
We build communities of practice that build. SheBoss for women-centred solutions. Climed for climate and the environment. DiGiTALL for Africa’s digital future, from digital literacy to public infrastructure. MyKraft for the hands that build this continent. Spark for the ecosystem of ideas, where founders get what they need.
We teach what works here. Expert-led business learning, TVET courses with recognised certification, and the contracts, templates and documents African businesses actually need.
