US-Africa Update - 26 January 2021(online event)
Following the Trump administration’s unilateral and confrontational approach to international affairs, the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris promises to steer a new course for American foreign policy with a renewed focus on multilateralism. Where Africa sits in this shift is not altogether clear. Tensions with China will not disappear overnight while the links between Black Lives Matter and social movements on the Continent, including the EndSars campaign, creates a febrile social backdrop. In this webinar Invest Africa will offer an update on the state of US-Africa policy and discuss the geopolitical implications of Joe Biden’s election for the region.
East Africa Business Outlook 2021 - 14 January 2021 (online event)
Despite the disruption caused by Covid-19, East Africa remains the continent’s fastest-growing region. Though growth in Kenya, Ethiopia and Tanzania has slowed, it continues to be positive. East Africa is a key region for many multinational business hub offices, not to mention the rapid growth of entrepreneurs and tech-based hubs in the region. The success of the region can largely be attributed to major infrastructure projects, agricultural opportunities and significant economic growth. However, with recent violence in Ethiopia attracting global concern, could the region become destabilised?
- With the current crisis in Ethiopia and the knock on effect on the Horn of Africa and expected elections in Uganda early next year, followed by Rwanda and Kenya in 2022, what can we expect in terms of regional stabilisation?
- Despite the global pandemic, what business trends have emerged from the region and what are key sectors for investor interest?
- What will the AfCFTA mean for the region, what strides have been made so far to harmonise common policies to encourage regional investment?
West Africa Business Outlook 2021 - 12 January 2021 (online event)

The region has fallen into recession this year with exports hit hard by the slump in global demand. With negotiations over the future of the CFA continuing into the new year, how will ECOWAS respond to these new pressures? And what are the domestic policies needed to promote recovery and growth? Join Razia Khan, Chief Economist and at Standard Chartered Bank and Vincent Rouget, Associate Director, Africa at Control Risks for Invest Africa’s 2021 outlook for the region.
