Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We would like students to help us develop and maintain a database/CRM of Corporate Partners for Afrifursa's programs.

Afrifursa is an organization that is focused on bringing together diverse stakeholders for equitable exchange; we’re building shared value between Canadian and African stakeholders to achieve a more just and sustainable future.

Our key areas of focus are:

  • African Youth and Diaspora,
  • Sustainable Urbanization
  • Innovation

For African Youth and Diaspora, we are implementing an Innovation Training Program that enables youth to develop robust solutions to local problems.

For Innovation, we host the Afrifursa Fintech Summit which brings together Canadian and African fintech ecosystems for mutual benefit. This virtual event draws over 400 attendees from over 38 countries.

If you're passionate about exploring the exciting and impactful opportunities between Africa and Canada, then this is for you!
