Africa Impact Summit Fireside Chat with NDPI Foundation

The U.S.-Africa Business Summit stands as the premier conference on strengthening U.S.-Africa trade, investment, and commercial connections following unprecedented health and economic challenges. The 2023 event theme, ‘Enhancing Africa’s Value in Global Value Chains,’ underscored the commitment to revitalizing these ties.

NDPI Foundation was represented at the event by Aline Varre, who contributed to a panel discussion titled ‘Driving Sustainable Development through

Innovative Financing’. This was a precursor event to the 2023 Africa Impact Summit and both Aline Varre and Dr. Phumlani Nkontwana delved into the significance of Nonprofit entities within the discourse on impact investment.

The discussions focused on three areas – the integral role played by nonprofits in the impact investment ecosystem, the distinct strengths of nonprofits that complement traditional investment approaches and generating positive social, environmental, and financial outcomes by strategically leveraging nonprofit initiatives.

The discussion highlighted our belief that nonprofit organizations play a pivotal role as key collaborators within the impact investing ecosystem, leveraging their mission-centric strategies, innovative outlook, active community involvement, advocacy initiatives, and collaborative methodologies to propel social change and foster economic development.
