Circularity in Action
The AfriCircular Innovators Programme is funded by the African Development Bank's Africa Circular Economy Facility (ACEF) and implemented in collaboration with the African Circular Economy Alliance (ACEA).
Our mission is to support Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and young entrepreneurs in sectors like agriculture, energy, and waste management, helping them build circular business models that contribute to sustainable development across the continent.
The circular economy represents a paradigm shift for Africa's development, offering sustainable solutions to environmental challenges while creating economic opportunities.
The circular economy could generate $4.5 trillion in economic benefits globally by 2030.
