Africa Prosperity Network
The Africa Prosperity Network (APN) is a non-profit private organisation founded with the objective of advancing the vision of ‘The Africa We Want’ as outlined in the African Union’s Agenda 2063, striving to promote Africa’s progress, independent of external aid.
APN is the vehicle that runs the Africa Prosperity Dialogues, an initiative committed to creating the platforms for partnerships among political and business leaders, civil society, academia and traditional authorities in Africa. This is aimed at driving the rapid development of the continent through dialogues and consensus building on issues of trade, commerce and strengthening of African economies.

Africa Prosperity Dialogues
The Africa Prosperity Dialogues series offer a strategic platform where the movers and shakers of the African economy elevate the economic integration objectives from ambitions to real actions. Set in Accra, Ghana, the APD is a one-of-a-kind event where African leaders from diverse areas of national endeavour gather each year to expedite, among other things, the implementation of the agreed initiatives within the AfCFTA trade bloc, and shape the Africa Agenda for Action. APD brings into practical focus, the continent’s critical challenges and industrialisation priorities and advance aggressively the commercial and infrastructural interventions to achieve the vision of an Africa Beyond Aid.
The APD is an annual conference held every January. It is a summit of the highest political and business decision makers in Africa, supported by various leaders, who propose practical, actionable initiatives to enhance trade in Africa and create prosperity for Africans. The Summit accelerates investment and amplify public-private partnership.
What We Do
Transforming Africa's Economy: Charting the Course for Seamless Communication and Financial Transactions Across Borders
In the first quarter of 2024, the President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo called on his peers at the 37th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union to drive the acceleration on advancing mobile interoperability to facilitate intra-African trade. This stems from the outcome of the Africa Prosperity Dialogues (APD) 2024 Peduase Action Compact that saw both political leaders and eminent business leaders present, committing to advance mobile interoperability across the continent to deepen financial inclusion and intra-African trade. The drive for interoperability is a call to action for policymakers, industry leaders, and stakeholders to join forces. Together, through collaboration and shared vision, we aim to build an interconnected African economy, ensuring that the continent’s full economic potential is realised and its place on the global stage is firmly established.
