Africa House is the brainchild of a team of experts who collectively possess over 100 years of experience on the continent, supporting various African initiatives.
Building a Community of Action
Launched in January 2020 at the 50th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Africa House is a platform that brings together multiple stakeholders interested and engaged in activities on the continent. Our partners and contributors convene to transform a community of interest into a community of action, working together to drive positive change and development in Africa. Join us as we strive to make a meaningful impact on the continent.
In 2023, over 400 individuals gathered at Africa House during the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos. Prominent global figures, including will.i.am, Congressman Gregory Meeks, and AfCFTA Secretary General H.E. Wamkele Mene, participated in discussions on Africa’s achievements in trade, technology, health, and innovation.
Beyond Davos:
More recently, in April, the Africa House team partnered with the African Union Mission to the United States to host a highly successful forum titled “A Year of African Opportunities” alongside the World Bank and IMF Spring Meeting 2023. This invitation-only event was a testament to the Africa House team’s ongoing commitment to promoting opportunities and fostering collaboration in support of Africa’s growth and development.
Africa House plans on hosting a reception gala during the 78th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 78).

“For too long, the narrative about Africa has been overshadowed by war, famine, natural disasters, and instability. Africa House is commited to changing that story by showcasing our continent’s wealth of opportunities, talent, innovation, and vibrancy.”
