Mission statement:	AfricaSIF.org is an independent, pan-African, not-for-profit network, knowledgebase and advocate promoting investment in sustainable development across the continent launched in June 2010. The AfricaSIF Project is building a network of institutions and individuals promoting sustainable investment in Africa by investors in public, private and philanthropy sectors across asset classes, countries and stakeholders from our platform @ africasif.org. AfricaSIF.org is a virtual but personal network of the investment value chain active in Africa. We are pro-Africa and pro-sustainable investment, sharing ideas and activities to promote sustainable investment. As a member-driven organization, we plan to provide some key components of the investment infrastructure in Africa. AfricaSIF.org is a new, strategic step in facilitating investment in Africa that purposefully integrates environmental, social and governance [ESG] factors. Connecting people who make investment decisions in Africa is a key benefit of AfricaSIF.org. We are developing new research as a knowledgebase includes the AfricaSIF.org Marketplace & Trends Report 2012, a sustainable investment benchmarking survey every two years. If you are part of making investment decisions in/into Africa, we invite you to join us in advancing our mission at one of our networking events. Siyaya phambili!
