About Us
The Africa Business Association (ABA) is a visionary organization that aims to foster economic growth, social development, and cultural exchange in Africa and beyond. We believe that Africa is a continent of immense potential and opportunities, and we seek to empower its people, especially the youth, to unleash their creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. We do this by providing business outreach and training services, facilitating trade and investment, promoting tourism and education, and supporting technology and science initiatives. Through our publications, events, and partnerships, we strive to showcase the achievements and aspirations of Africans, Americans, and African Diaspora businesses, and to inspire a new generation of leaders who will shape the Africa of tomorrow.
- Ubuntu: We believe in the African philosophy of ubuntu, which means “I am who I am because of who we all are”. We value the interconnectedness and interdependence of all human beings, and we respect the dignity and diversity of every person.
- Excellence: We strive to deliver high-quality services and products that meet the needs and expectations of our clients, partners, and stakeholders. We constantly seek to improve our performance and learn from our experiences.
- Innovation: We embrace change and challenge conventional thinking. We encourage creativity and experimentation, and we support the development and adoption of new technologies and solutions that can benefit Africa and the world.
- Collaboration: We work in partnership with various organizations and individuals who share our vision and mission. We leverage our collective strengths and resources, and we foster a culture of trust, communication, and mutual support.
- Impact: We measure our success by the positive outcomes and lasting changes that we create for our beneficiaries, communities, and society. We are accountable for our actions and results, and we seek to maximize our social, economic, and environmental impact.
OUR MISSION
To provide development assistance and foreign direct investment, which have buoyed the continent’s development efforts over the years .
OUR VISION
Our vision is grounded in consistent commitment to improving the growth prospects for Africans, Americans and African Diaspora businesses.
We challenge conventional thinking
As forces from politics to social media try to break us into competing tribes—political, racial, or economic – together we’ll rethink the question “Who is my neighbor?”
We will listen to you
We need you to hold us accountable – to keep us honest and grounded. To inspire us with what inspires you. Together, we can build a community of people who ask more from news.
We will change how you see news
News must be accurate and trustworthy, but facts alone can miss the whole story—the story of us. We are much better than much of today’s news portrays us to be. We will have the courage to look into both the best and the worst in us – and not to blame, but to demand better.
