Welcome to Africa’s most powerful Shared Value business network. The Shared Value Africa (SVA) aims to expand the Shared Value community on the African continent.

The Shared Value approach reconnects business success with social progress. The SVAI motivates and engages CEOs, board members, executives, employees and stakeholders through a social purpose tied to the business’s core economic function. Africa has specific needs that cannot be addressed from the outside in; there’s a real need for African-driven solutions to African problems, and Shared Value is the key.

For the innovative, forward-thinking business, real growth opportunities can be found in addressing social challenges. Our continent is at a critical crossroads. The twenty-first century can be the era when Africa lifts itself out of poverty – if business silos and cross-border barriers can be eliminated. It is imperative that we create a network backed by businesses, both established and start-up, to collaborate, co-operate and engage to build stable, prosperous and sustainable economies, that leave no one behind.
