EXPLORE THE PROGRAMME

Shaping Africa’s Future Through People

Africa’s financial future depends on people. Talent Leadership in Finance is where the continent’s foremost CEOs, HR leaders, and policy shapers come together to put talent at the centre of Africa’s growth story.

This event will feature two days of keynotes, interactive labs, and high-level collaboration.

We will launch the AAMFI HR Talent Programme 2026–2030 — a bold, five-year roadmap to strengthen leadership pipelines, drive digital transformation, and build a thriving community of practice across the continent.

Join us as we shape the future of talent in African finance, and set in motion a movement that will empower organisations, unlock trade, and fuel sustainable growth.

Be part of the launch. Be part of the community. Be part of the future.

ABOUT THE ORGANISERS

The Alliance of African Multilateral Financial Institutions (AAMFI), also known as the Africa Club, is a coalition of Africa-owned and Africa-controlled multilateral financial institutions working together to strengthen the continent’s financial architecture. Established in 2024 on the margins of the African Union Summit, AAMFI brings together Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), African Reinsurance Corporation (Africa Re), African Solidarity Fund (ASF), African Trade and Investment Development Insurance (ATIDI), East African Development Bank (EADB), Fund for Export Development in Africa (FEDA), Shelter Afrique Development Bank (ShafDB), Trade and Development Bank (TDB), and ZEP-Re (PTA Reinsurance Company).

African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) is a Pan-African multilateral financial institution mandated to finance, facilitate and promote intra and extra-African trade. For over 30 years, the Bank has been deploying innovative instruments to deliver financing solutions that support the transformation of the structure of Africa’s trade, accelerating industrialization and intra-regional trade, thereby boosting economic expansion in Africa. A stalwart supporter of the AfCFTA, Afreximbank has in partnership with the African Union Commission and AFCFTA Secretariat launched the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS) which has been adopted by the African Union (AU) as the payment and settlement platform to underpin the implementation of the African Free Trade Area agreement. The AfCFTA Secretariat and Afreximbank have created a US$10 billion Adjustment Fund to support countries to effectively participate in the AfCFTA.
