Who we are

African Economic Empowerment Wealth Fund

The African Economic Empowerment Wealth Fund (AEEWF) is a transformative pan-African institution dedicated to eradicating poverty and fostering inclusive prosperity across the continent. Founded on the belief that Africa's wealth must be equitably shared to uplift communities, we design and implement economic systems that empower individuals, businesses, and nations to thrive.

Headquartered in Harare, Zimbabwe, a hub of empowerment ideology, we operate across all 54 African nations, partnering with governments, global institutions, and grassroots organisations to turn vision into action.

Mission

To eradicate poverty by providing equal opportunities, resources, and innovative structures that empower private citizens, corporations, and nations to achieve lasting prosperity and a higher quality of life.

Vision

To be the global leader in practical, impactful, and sustainable African economic empowerment solutions.

Our philosophy

The i-Focus framework

Guided by the i-Focus philosophy, we align our work with Africa's most pressing needs and global sustainability standards, anchored in the African Union's Agenda 2063 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Aligned to Agenda 2063

Every programme is mapped against the African Union's continental development framework, so our work compounds rather than duplicates existing national effort.

Measured against the SDGs

We hold our programmes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, giving partners a common standard for assessing progress and comparing outcomes.

Delivered locally

Continental strategy, local execution. Country-level empowerment units adapt each programme to the conditions on the ground in their nation.
