Africa’s future is ours to shape.
At ASIS 2026, Dr. Kadir Obafemi Hamzat, Deputy Governor, Lagos State, reminded us that our future will not be defined by the challenges we face, but by the courage to act, the strength of our partnerships, and the investments we make together.
At #ASIS2026, Adewale Smatt-Oyerinde, DG of NECA, said sustainability is no longer just about doing the right thing—it's about securing the financing to scale impact.
Good ideas need the right capital, partnerships, and investment to deliver measurable outcomes.
At #ASIS26, Sen Abubakar Bagudu, Nigeria's Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, stressed that transforming Africa requires rethinking development finance.
Scaling inclusive growth will depend on stronger partnerships, innovative financing, an environment for private capital
At #ASIS2026, Dele Faseemo called for stronger collaboration to mobilise climate finance and scale solutions.
Africa has the opportunity to turn investment into resilience, green growth, and lasting impact.

Africa's climate story is one of opportunity.
At #ASIS2026, Dr. Omotenioye Majekodunmi called for greater investment to turn Africa's renewable energy, natural resources, innovation, and youthful population into climate action and sustainable growth.

At #ASIS2026, Rodger Werkhoven, Creative Director at OpenAI, challenged African founders to use AI to solve Africa’s unique challenges—not replicate existing solutions.
When innovation is built for local realities, AI can drive inclusive growth and sustainable development
Looking back at #ASIS2026, Muriel Mafico, Country Representative, UNFPA Nigeria, reminded us that meaningful social impact goes beyond conversations. It requires partnerships built on trust, shared purpose, and collective action.

To our Strategic Partners—Sterling Bank, The Coca-Cola Company, the United Nations Global Compact Network Nigeria (UNGC), Afreximbank, Ford Foundation, and Luminate—thank you for believing in the vision of the Africa Social Impact Summit 2026 and for bringing that vision to life through your partnership and commitment.
Your partnership helped convene the voices that matter, spark the conversations that challenge convention, and strengthen the collaborations that will shape Africa’s future. Together, under the theme “Financing for Development: Building Resilience and Transforming Emerging Economies,” we reinforced a powerful truth: sustainable development is accelerated when purpose, partnership, and investment come together.
The impact of #ASIS2026 will not be measured only by what happened over three days, but by the ideas that become policies, the partnerships that become investments, and the commitments that become lasting change.
Thank you for standing with us to help build a more resilient, prosperous, and sustainable Africa.

History is rarely shaped by one person. It is shaped by people who choose to act together.
Last week, changemakers across the continent gathered at the Africa Social Impact Summit (ASIS) 2026 with one shared belief—that Africa’s future will be built through bold leadership, innovative financing, and partnerships that deliver real impact.
Over three transformative days, we challenged perspectives, shared solutions, forged new alliances, and reaffirmed our commitment to creating a continent where opportunity is accessible, resilience is strengthened, and sustainable development becomes a lived reality.
ASIS 2026 was more than a summit.
It was a declaration that Africa is ready to lead, invest, innovate, and transform its future on its own terms.
To everyone who joined this journey, thank you for proving that when purpose meets collaboration, extraordinary things happen.
This isn’t the end of a summit. It’s the beginning of a stronger movement for Africa.
Together, we move forward.
