      WHO IS SHARED VALUE AFRICA

      “Development is about more than money, or machines, or good policies – it’s about real people and the lives they lead ”

      – Paul Kagame, President of the Republic of Rwanda

      Shared Value Africa (SVA) is a pan-African organisation and the regional partner of the global Shared Value Initiative business network that are drawn together through a common purpose: to assist and collaborate with organisations to create Shared Value and build prosperous and sustainable economies and societies through focussing on profit with purpose. There is a real need for African-driven solutions for African challenges. Adopting a Shared Value business model enables innovative, forward-thinking businesses to find growth opportunities in addressing social and environmental challenges using the UN Sustainable Development Goals as their guiding principles.

      GLOBAL SHARED VALUE PARTNERS AND FOOTPRINT

      SVA has a presence in 12 countries and operating offices in Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa. There is a need for African-driven solutions and businesses to adopt the Shared Value Business Management concept to find growth opportunities in addressing societal and environmental issues, through their core business.

      Board of Directors

      The Shared Value Africa board members have been selected with great care as they represent our region and bring together individuals from varied backgrounds with complementary experience.

      Our board members play an active role in the governance and management of the SVA. The board includes a group of female leaders who are driven by their responsibility to not only grow the Shared Value movement across our continent but to also ensure that the SVA’s reputation and credibility is built through governance, ethics, and transparency as well as a mindset and behaviour that is focused on creating a better life for all.

      Our board is accessible through SVA to engage with parties interested in Shared Value and convenes quarterly.

      Kenya Working Group

      The Shared Value Africa Initiative established working groups across two of our biggest regions (South Africa and Kenya) in order to bring various sectors together to collaborate on addressing issues affecting the communities they operate in.

      As a collaboration platform, the working groups, made up of private sector, academia and civil society, demonstrate the power of the collective to affect change for all – beyond competition into collaboration. The South Africa Working Group focuses on supporting and empowering SMMEs in order to be more sustainable, and the Kenya Working Group’s main activity will be to affect the impact of climate change, primarily through the reforestation programme initiated by the Kenyan government. Both projects are currently in development phase.
