Our aim is to bring into the network all those with an interest in our objectives and a willingness to share their experience and insights with others.  Connecting practitioners and experts.  Harnessing and focusing the vast pool of energy and experience.  Showcasing the best of what is going on, no matter who is doing it.

 

We do a lot of this through our website – including our events calendar – the most popular page on our site.  We also bring together business news stories through our on-line Africa Business Weekly.    Our video channel, e-library, case study repository, and our active collective business blog.  We are currently further developing our website to tap into some of the latest developments – and will be including, for example, a Google Maps presentation of data on our members, projects and the business climate across Africa.

 

We also facilitate knowledge sharing in more traditional ways - co-hosting policy briefings with DFID and supporting conferences and events throughout the year, including most recently the Africa Business Forum 2007 with CBC. 

 

To help us in our knowledge sharing activities we have formed knowledge partnerships with the International Business Leaders Forum, who also sit on our board, the CSR Initiative at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, and the World Bank Institute.   They, and future knowledge partners, are the brains of the practitioner-focused eco-system that we are building.
