Connecting Global Africans to Africa’s Growth Opportunities
Through the partnership with AAI, the Forum leverages its expertise in education, leadership development, and international engagement to strengthen the bridge between Africa and its diaspora.
Objectives of the Forum
Global Africa Forum 2024
The 2024 Forum built on this mission by focusing on four key areas: pooling global investments, leveraging diaspora contributions, utilising reparations to fund transformative projects, and enhancing public-private partnerships (PPPs) to attract investors. The partnership with AAI added critical value by offering thought leadership, capacity building, and access to an extensive network of diaspora professionals and institutions.
Curated under the theme “Mobilising Global African Investment for Africa’s Infrastructural Needs,” the 2024 Forum aligned with the Africa Prosperity Dialogue 2025 which focuses on infrastructure development for a seamless and prosperous Africa. AAI’s commitment to fostering education and leadership played a central role in shaping discussions and delivering actionable outcomes.
Global Africa Forum 2023
The inaugural Forum in 2023 marked a milestone with the launch of the Global Africa Network. Themed “Mobilising Global Africa Investment to Boost Intra-African Trade,” this groundbreaking initiative was led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, President of Ghana, with support from global leaders such as Ahunna Eziakonwa (UN Assistant Secretary-General), Professor Benedict Oramah (President of Afreximbank), Albert Muchanga (AU Commissioner for Trade and Industry), and Wamkele Mene (AfCFTA Secretary-General).
As a key partner, AAI was instrumental in connecting African and diaspora leaders to the initiative, strengthening the Forum’s ability to mobilise investments and foster impactful collaborations.
