ABOUT US

Who We Are

PLUS Africa is a pan-African advisory platform focused on strengthening institutions, mobilising capital, and supporting execution across Africa

We work with organisations that operate in complex environments and recognise that sustainable impact requires more than isolated interventions. Our work spans policy, philanthropy, investment, enterprise, and ecosystem development.

VISION

Our vision is an Africa where institutions function effectively, capital is deployed responsibly, and development, investment, and social impact efforts are aligned with long-term systems and outcomes rather than short-term interventions.

MISSION

Our mission is to strengthen institutions, systems, and capital pathways across Africa so that organisations can deliver sustained impact, adapt to complexity, and operate with integrity and effectiveness over time.

Our Values

The principles that guide our work and define who we are

Systems Before Projects

We prioritise strengthening institutions, governance, and systems over isolated initiatives, recognising that durable impact is built through capable organisations and coherent structures.

Execution Matters

We believe that strategy without delivery does not create change. Our work focuses on practical implementation, institutional capacity, and the ability to translate plans into sustained performance.

Stewardship of Capital and Trust

We work with a deep sense of responsibility toward the capital, resources, and trust placed in institutions, ensuring that decisions are grounded in integrity, accountability, and long-term value.

Partnerships Over Transaction

We bring fresh thinking, data and tested tools into every engagement. We reflect regularly, adapt as we learn and encourage our clients to do the same.

Context and Respect

We respect the complexity of African contexts and design solutions that are grounded in local realities, institutional constraints, and lived experience rather than imported models.

Inclusion as Practise

We treat gender, youth, and inclusion as systemic considerations embedded within institutional design and delivery, not as standalone or symbolic commitments.

Our Purpose

Our purpose is to support institutions and organisations to function more effectively over time. We do this by strengthening strategy, systems, governance, and execution capacity so that organisations can deliver on their mandates and adapt to changing contexts.

Our Approach

Our work is guided by three core principles.

First, Systems Matter

We focus on strengthening the underlying systems that enable organisations to perform, rather than addressing symptoms in isolation.

Second, Execution is Critical

Strategy without delivery does not create impact. We prioritise practical implementation and institutional capacity

Third, Partnerships are Long-term

We work alongside organisations as trusted partners, supporting learning, adaptation, and sustained performance.
