AfricaSIF Information

Africa Sustainable Investment Forum [AfricaSIF] is an independent, not-for-profit pan-African network, knowledgebase and advocate launched in June 2010 to promote sustainable investment across the continent. The AfricaSIF Project is building AfricaSIF as a network of institutions and individuals active in public, private and philanthropy sectors making investment in Africa happen across asset classes, countries and stakeholders from our platform @africasif.org. AfricaSIF is a virtual but personal network of the investment value chain active in Africa. We are pro-Africa and pro-sustainable investment, sharing ideas and activities to promote sustainable investment. As a member-driven organization, we plan to provide some key components of the investment infrastructure in Africa, including a sustainable investment benchmarking survey every two years starting in 2010. AfricaSIF is a new, strategic step in facilitating investment in Africa that purposefully integrates environmental, social and governance [ESG] factors.
