The discussion will investigate how Africa can unlock its potential globally through AfCFTA. 

• What is the place of the CEOs and business leaders in making sure that this is not just a dream but a reality?
• What linkages do business leaders create within themselves and with governments for effective implementation?

RemitFund  hosts the Renewable Energy Masterclass as a part of a series of masterclasses to provide training for entrepreneurs from the African diaspora, who wish to create and scale sustainable businesses that positively impact the continent. 

Each masterclass focuses on one of 4 sectors that have been identified by the African Development Bank as key growth sectors for Africa, namely: agribusiness, renewable energy, the cultural creative industries and real estate / tourism. The inaugural agribusiness masterclass was held in February 2019 in partnership with Thomson Reuters. 

Why renewable energy? According to the African Development Bank, Africa has the lowest electrification rate of all regions. It is estimated that only 42 percent of the population has access to electricity, compared with 75 percent in the developing world. In Sub-Saharan Africa the ratio is even lower, with only 30 percent of urban populations (14 percent in rural areas) having access to electricity that is often expensive and unreliable. If current trends continue, less than half of African countries will reach universal access to electricity by 2050. 

The purpose of the renewable energy masterclass is to strengthen the pipeline of businesses in the clean energy sector, that are eligible for funding from RemitFund’s African Diaspora Investment Fund (ADIF). Attendees will receive tailored investment readiness training from industry experts, as well as general business training in areas such as digital marketing. Selected entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to participate in a “Shark Tank” style pitch to a panel of experts and investors during the event, as part of RemitFund’s #PitchMyBiz campaign.

Join us for a frank conversation between Prof. Mark Kramer (FSG) and Jon Duncan (Old Mutual) on a new measurement approach to address the missing link and connect shared value to shareholder value. The session will be introduced by Gautrain Management Agency CEO William Dachs.

 “Over recent years, we have seen a significant increase in companies tracking their societal impact through tools such as ESG and the Global Reporting Initiative’s standards. These tools play an important role in helping companies understand their impact, but they fall short of helping project the economics and strategic relevance of changing them. What is needed are hybrid metrics, targets, and corporate performance management that enable capturing how profitably a company is operating in line with its purpose.” - Mark Kramer.
