Championing the sustenance of impact & impact-focused organizations across Africa
The Sustaining Impact Summit (SIS) is an annual event aimed at promoting the sustenance of impact and impact-focused organizations in Africa. Each year, SIS brings together social enterprises and NGOs, alongside industry experts, policymakers, and representatives from local and international development organizations to explore how impact-focused organizations can sustainably resource their impact-related work, particularly in cases of limited or no external support.
summit Objectives
Recognizing the tireless efforts and innovative solutions of social entrepreneurs and NGOs, the summit provides a platform to honor their achievements and amplify their voices on a regional and global scale.
By facilitating open dialogue and exchange, the summit confronts the pressing economic, social, and environmental issues facing Africa, seeking collaborative solutions that harness the collective expertise of attendees.
Emphasising the power of collaboration, the summit cultivates partnerships among diverse stakeholders, forging connections that transcend geographical boundaries and organizational silos to drive sustainable impact.
Through workshops, mentorship sessions, and skill-building workshops, the summit empowers social entrepreneurs and NGOs with the tools, resources, and support needed to build self-sufficient organizations.
We share stories of resilience, success and practically-relevant reports to inspire everyone to keep working for a better Africa.
