The Africa Advancement Forum and Africa No Filter are pleased to announce their strategic partnership for the upcoming 2023 Africa Advancement Forum. The event is set to take place on the 15th of October at the esteemed Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos, Nigeria. Under the theme "Africa Unleashed: Shaping a New Trade Paradigm," this forum aims to propel Africa towards greater economic development through innovative trade strategies and collaborations.
The Africa Advancement Forum has been a pivotal platform for fostering dialogue and driving positive change in Africa's economic landscape. It brings together prominent leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, and influencers from across the continent and beyond. This year's event promises to be an exceptional gathering, offering a unique opportunity for stakeholders to collectively shape Africa's destiny.
Africa No Filter, as a strategic partner, brings its expertise in amplifying African voices, empowering narratives, and challenging stereotypes to the table. It advocates for Better Representation of Africa across global media and other storytelling platforms. The organization's commitment to promoting a nuanced and authentic narrative about Africa aligns perfectly with the Africa Advancement Forum's objective of showcasing Africa's vast potential and opportunities.
At this year’s forum, Africa No Filter will be facilitating a discussion themed “Challenging Global Perceptions about Africa,” which will bring key media players and policymakers to discuss the need for and possible impact of a positive African narrative on its business and economic landscape. The forum will explore innovative strategies, policies, and investments that can drive sustainable economic growth, foster intra-African trade, and strengthen Africa's position in the global market.
Through engaging panel discussions, keynote speeches, and interactive sessions, the Africa Advancement Forum will facilitate thought-provoking conversations on various topics, including:
1. Enhancing regional integration and trade facilitation across Africa.
2. Leveraging digital technologies for inclusive trade and e-commerce.
3. Fostering public-private partnerships to drive investment and innovation.
4. Promoting sustainable and responsible trade practices.
5. Empowering African entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for global competitiveness.
6. Elicit engaging conversation about Africa's perception and how that shapes trade and empowers SMEs across the continent
Together with Africa No Filter, the Africa Advancement Forum aims to ignite the collective imagination, foster collaboration, and inspire actionable solutions to shape a new trade paradigm for Africa. This partnership will enhance the impact of the event, providing a platform for diverse voices and perspectives to contribute to Africa's economic advancement.

About Africa Advancement Forum:
The Africa Advancement Forum is a premier platform for fostering dialogue, driving change, and advancing Africa's economic growth. The annual event brings together leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, and influencers to discuss critical issues and collaborate on innovative solutions.
The Forum runs as an Africa focused platform that creates space for the discussion of key prospects and strategies that aims to influence the growth and advancement of the continent.
About Africa No Filter:
Africa No Filter exists because many stories about Africa still lazily revolve around the single story of poor leadership, poverty, corruption, disease, and conflict. These stories fail to portray the other more progressive side of Africa and collectively perpetuate the narrative that Africa is broken, dependent and lacks agency. The result? Harmful stereotypes that continue to paint a rigidly negative picture of the continent, despite the massive strides we are making. Our mission at Africa No Filter is to shift these stereotypes because they impact the way the world sees Africa and how Africa sees itself. Through research, grant-making, community building and advocacy, we support storytellers to help shift the stereotypical narratives about Africa one story at a time. Our funders are Ford Foundation, Bloomberg, Mellon Foundation, Luminate, Open Society Foundations, Comic Relief, the Hilton Foundation, and Hewlett Foundation.
