BACK TO THE OFFICE

We hope the summer or dry season break has brought you inspiration and good energy to face inevitable challenges to start projects and to find new partners to leverage key initiatives. Innovations and findings daily arise such as the use of spirulina. Spirulina is indeed promissing as it offers a solution for nutrition (with high return from small-scale crop), CO2 absorption and oxygen production, it is good for livelihood development and environmental mitigation. The Made in Africa is true but should still be scale-up and generalized to all sectors. The appetite for impact investments in Africa is growing and the Africa Investment Report 2015 Africa shows that FDI into Africa increased by 64 percent to $87bn.

New joiners are welcome as the number of demands to address and the win-win potential including the artistic one, are quasi-unlimited and indispensable for stability.
