Who We Are


The Africa Growth Forum (AGF), powered by the Global Development & Investment Institute (GDII), is a leading think tank and media initiative dedicated to advancing Africa’s economic transformation through research, storytelling, and strategic collaboration.

We operate as a bridge between policy, investment, and diaspora engagement, showcasing opportunities that drive inclusive and sustainable growth across the continent.

Our mission is to empower communities, promote responsible investment, and inspire partnerships that move Africa — and the world — toward shared prosperity.

Our Mission & Vision


  • Mission:
    To shape the future of development by equipping governments, institutions, and businesses with actionable insights that drive inclusive and resilient growth — while amplifying the voices of Africa’s diaspora and innovators shaping real progress on the ground.


  • Vision:
    To build a global platform where ideas, investment, and integrity intersect — connecting Africa’s potential with global opportunity, and turning research into real-world impact.


What We Do


  • Economic Research & Policy Analysis
    Delivering in-depth studies on African markets, growth trends, and development pathways.


  • Investment & Growth Strategies
    Identifying opportunities in infrastructure, digital economy, trade, and renewable energy to guide public and private stakeholders toward impactful investments.


  • Capacity Building & Advisory
    Providing tailored expertise to governments, businesses, and development partners to strengthen institutional capacity and policy implementation.


  • Global Partnerships
    Collaborating with international organizations, financial institutions, and diaspora-led initiatives to drive Africa’s transformation through sustainable alliances.


Flagship Initiative: The Diaspora Impact Series


The Diaspora Impact Series is our signature media and research project — a storytelling and data-driven initiative spotlighting diaspora entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators who are reshaping Africa’s future.

Each edition features in-depth country spotlights, policy insights, and real-world stories from the diaspora driving change in sectors like education, digital finance, infrastructure, and clean energy.

We are currently seeking founding partners and sponsors to help launch the 2025 edition, covering Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and diaspora innovation hubs in the U.S. and Europe.

🎯 Objective: To bridge global capital and local impact through storytelling, research, and collaboration.
🤝 Opportunities: Sponsorships, co-branded research, and diaspora engagement collaborations.


Why It Matters


Africa’s growth narrative deserves to be told by those shaping it.
We bridge the gap between research and action, between the continent and its global diaspora — building an ecosystem where investment, policy, and human stories intersect.

Through innovation, inclusive economic frameworks, and diaspora-led development, we aim to amplify the progress often left out of mainstream discussions.
