GRI in Africa

Who we work with

Responsible Business for Sustainable Development  

This program, funded by SIDA (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency), supports businesses to contribute to the SDGs.  We facilitate learning and sharing platforms throughout the region. This includes supporting UNCTAD’s Development Account initiatives in South Africa and Kenya, and collaborations with Africa Practice and Kenya Private Sector Alliance, events with PwC, Global Compact Networks and Enel, and developing ESG guidance and events on sustainability reporting for listed companies with the African Securities Exchange Association.  

Corporate Social Responsibility for Competitive Business  

With funding from SECO (Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs), we support the work to integrate SMEs from the region into global value chains. Working with Frayintermedia and the Institute for Advancement of Journalism, we are also building the capacity of journalists to engage with sustainability data. In collaboration with BATSETA Council of Retirement Funds of South Africa and Six Capitals Advisory, we are reaching out to the investor community, empowering them to integrate sustainability in their decision making.
