背景
Building Bridges with Africa has continued to evolve in many ways, including Action Days events, from Demystifying Risk to SDG Investments in African Markets: Spotlight Ghana & Kenya, organised by the Ground Up Project and the SDG Lab in 2022, Exploring SDG Investment Opportunities in Kenya organised by the Nairobi International Financial Centre and UNDP FC4S in 2023, to Bridging SDG Financing for Africa – the time is now! organised by the SDG Partnership Platform, Swiss Government, AlphaMundi and the World Economic Forum and Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Building In Africa organised by Haruma Buntfu in 2024. We also co-hosted an Africa-focused networking breakfast as part of the Building Bridges 2024 side-event programme with SDG Impact Finance Initiative and AlphaMundi.
We have also led two high-level missions to Kenya, the first learning exchange took place in April 2023 where our team traveled to learn more about the impact investing community in Nairobi, and exchange with financial actors who are implementing new innovative services to support the Sustainable Development Goals. The second mission in June 2024 brought leaders together for the Bridging Africa-Europe SDG Investment Summit. Over 3 days, a delegation of private sector leaders from Europe and East Africa united to strengthen bridges for sustainable investment. This inaugural Summit was a collaboration between Building Bridges, the Embassy of Switzerland in Kenya, and the United Nations in Kenya through its SDG Partnership Platform, with support from the Nairobi International Financial Centre and Equity Bank Group. It aimed to forge links and cultivate trust to enable financing and investment pathways among diverse communities, deepening European investors’ and African stakeholders’ understanding of the region’s and the continent’s sustainable investment landscape.
