Breaking Barriers
Inclusive Participation in Africa’s Impact Economy
The impact economy works when peoples’ needs are properly, transparently noticed and measured. People’s needs have evolved, so traditional economics needs to evolve into impact economics.
The market economy is capable of delivering economic growth and profits, but less capable of providing social equality and environmental preservation.
Our impact economy business model is well-positioned to find an appropriate balance across economic, social and environmental factors that accelerate the implementation the African Union Agenda 2063.
Emergent Africa
Our holistic approach to conducting business while achieving long-term environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Broader impacts of our business operations on external factors are taken more into account as opposed to a solely profit-driven strategy.
Our business paves the way for a more sustainable future through deliberate collaborative efforts and strategic partnerships that foster result-driven community development. Our sustainability approach favours impact towards youth and children’s rights across Africa.
New opportunities for growth and development will be abundantly available in Africa. Rapid urbanisation, smart applications of technological innovation, increased participation in the global flow of people, trade and money, not to mention the continuous fall-out of climate change, is shaping completely new development realities for an emergent Africa.
Social Equality
Change, complexity and global interdependence are creating new realities, with new and unique opportunities and challenges for development. We use new ways of thinking about, talking about, and implementing strategic plans that are compatible with the unfolding future of Africa. Facilitating and helping leaders make better socio-economic decisions which, in turn, help them regain the initiative and manage the future, beneficial to all.
Our future-oriented inclusive tools to transform our clients and their communities encompass creative solution-building that has an outcome for development paradigms that make sense to Africa and its future.
We endeavour to pro-actively shape a transformative development narrative uniquely suited to Africa’s development. The total number of individuals living in Africa’s urban areas is expected to rise from 400 million in 2010 to 1.26 billion in 2050 according to the foresight team of the Africa Growth Initiative at the Brooklyn Institute.
Future Pathways
Africa’s future is bright, driven by its youthful population—over 60% under the age of 25—abundant natural resources, technological potential, urbanisation, and growing middle class. However, the realisation of this potential is dependent upon transformative, knowledge-driven policy initiatives, engaged policy communities and measurement of policy impact.
Social innovation, entrepreneurship and collaborative empowernment achieved through service learning and volunteering, becomes a critical function of Huruma Bantfu’s developmental approach.
