10th edition of the Sankalp Africa Summit to be held in Nairobi

The 10th edition of the Sankalp Africa Summit will be held in Nairobi from March 1st to 2nd, at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies.

The two-day summit is expected to convene over 1,500 delegates from across the development sector ecosystem, who will discuss, define, and drive forward the critical levers of entrepreneurial success for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“The conference aims at driving transformative impact and scaling entrepreneurship for global goals.”

Themed ‘Transformative Impact’, the summit will help drive exciting discussions, structured in various formats like master classes and panel sessions, fireside chats and workshops.

Also, there will be global leaders’ speeches and deal rooms, all aimed at forging collaborative partnerships and imagining the future beyond the goals themselves.

Key global sponsors of the summit include Visa Foundation-the strategic partner, Affiliate Partner-GIZ and Program Partners-Villgro Africa.

Also present will be FSD Uganda, US International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) & Energy Catalyst.

Each sponsor will lend a specific perspective and insight that will drive the achievement of the SDGs.

Another key part of the summit is the Sankalp Africa Awards, which aims to recognize and reward high-impact enterprises in the African region.

Five finalists from key impact sectors across the region will get the opportunity to pitch their enterprises to a jury panel comprising eminent business leaders.
