Businesses are not just the engines of Economic Growth and wealth creation, they are also the drivers of stability, or lack of it. The Africa Platform works on three areas:

Business and Wealth Distribution

We work to ensure Businesses are true creators of collective wealth, a capitalism that is conscious and delivers a shared value, not just extracting resources from society.

Business and Politics

We work to ensure Businesses shape Politics in ways that create an enabling environment for all, without corrupting weak political systems to exploit society.

Business and Wealth Extraction

The Africa Platform works to ensure businesses are a benefit to society, not extractors from society wealth.

Society shapes the government needed to ensure democracy. The Africa Platform works with governments to build the right democracy built on local values, social cohesion and effective accountability at all levels of Governance. Diverse societies have different forms of democratic values. The Africa Platform works with Governments to build the right democracy that respects its diversity, culture and social cohesion. Elections, where they are needed, are only the first step to democracy, and not always, the only one, or necessary one.

Development sector- NGOs and the Donors that fund them- can become catalysts for societal cohesion, or become stumbling blocks to society resilience, cohesion and accountability. The Africa Platform works with development actors to ensure development is not a tool to weaken society so as to extract from it.
