The founding moment for Africa's social sector.
One hundred leaders. One room. One decision: to build the professional infrastructure Africa's social sector has always deserved.
Africa's first professional convening for the social sector.
The ANII Founders' Forum is not a conference. It is a founding moment — the first gathering of Africa's social sector leaders to collectively establish the professional infrastructure the sector needs to lead at a global level.
Every person in the room on 26 June 2026 will carry the permanent designation of Founding Member of the African Nonprofit Impact Institute.
What you will leave with.
