act
Business Action for Africa catalyses business-to-business partnerships to drive on-the-ground action on business issues that matter for development, and development issues that matter for business.
We believe that by working together, businesses can achieve more – whether this means increasing the scale of their development impact, reducing the risk of a new business model, or strengthening their capacity to tackle a complex issue.
Governments, donors and civil society organisations are a vital part of businesses’ ability to deliver and vice versa.
