Description
Philanthropy alone can’t meet today’s challenges. This session explores how foundations can move from grants to mission-aligned investing to unlock capital in Africa. Through a practical, interactive format, it breaks down tools like catalytic capital, PRIs, and MRIs, examines why capital isn’t flowing, and presents concrete models that work. Participants will leave with clear frameworks, real examples, and actionable steps to start deploying capital within 6–12 months.
