This policy brief has emerged from a series of consultations with a unique combination of people: distinguished business leaders, policy experts, development advocates and, perhaps most importantly, African entrepreneurs, some working at a very local level in their communities, others in the growing
number of dynamic African businesses across the continent.
By identifying priorities and sharing examples of what is already being done, this policy brief is intended to inspire action by business leaders already engaged, or planning to invest, in Africa. It is also intended to complement the work of the many business and policy bodies that are dedicated to encouraging responsible investment in Africa.
