OUR PURPOSE
Catalyst for Change
Africa is undoubtedly the next frontier for economic growth and development, as a result of its untapped natural resources, a growing middle class and a young population. This presents Africa with an opportunity to build inclusive economies and lead to poverty reduction. Most importantly, Africa needs to ensure that its natural capital is secured in the quest for economic development.
Our purpose at the African Centre for a Green Economy (AfriCGE), is to be a catalyst for change. We harness the potential of Africa’s talent through our wide network of talent across the continent, to play a leading role in supporting the transition on the continent. We work with policymakers, business leaders and entrepreneurs to harness the opportunities provided by the green economy to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), for some of Africa’s most vulnerable communities.
