AIDF Africa Summit is useful as it provides a platform for private-public-civil society partnership. I will definitely recommend this conference to my colleagues

Deputy Country Director
Being the first such summit in Africa, holding it in Kenya portends great resonance. It is a big opportunity to push the CSA and nature based approaches as a solution narrative considering the great publicity surrounding the governments “Big 4” agenda that seeks to drive socioeconomic objectives {…} The summit will resonate very positively with the Kenyan stakeholders – both state & nonstate – and generate momentum for the solutions paradigm to take root across the continent
