Our engagement with AVPA provided invaluable connections and insights that helped us refine and launch the Climate Futurepreneurs Program. The experience strengthened our approach to empowering youth with practical climate solutions and access to green finance.
Our partnership with AVPA continues to strengthen LEAP Africa’s commitment to advancing youth leadership and social innovation across the continent. Through the platform’s rich network and convenings, we have benefited from knowledge exchange, visibility, and meaningful collaborations that drive sustainable impact.
Our collaboration with AVPA has provided outstanding visibility for EHA Impact Ventures and our portfolio companies. It has also strengthened our thought leadership and facilitated valuable connections within the impact investing ecosystem.
Organisations across the social investment spectrum, including philanthropies, impact investors, foundations, corporates, development organisations, family offices, and intermediaries, are eligible to join AVPA. Any organisation committed to deploying capital for social impact in Africa can become a member.
AVPA evaluates potential members based on several factors, including the impact of their Assets Under Management (AUM), alignment with AVPA’s areas of interest (such as ecosystem work, research, sector-specific work, and capacity building programs), interest or engagement in sustainability work, and their level of influence in their fields of operation.
The membership is divided into two tiers, each designed to enable organisations to collaborate with AVPA to advance their work and the African Social Investments ecosystem. Our members are categorised based on where the organisation is registered:
