Goals & Objectives

The Leon H. Sullivan Summit VII, “Africa: A Continent of Opportunities- Building Partnership for Success,” will convene Africans from the continent and from parts of the Diaspora, including Europe, Latin America, North America and the Caribbean, and the many Friends of Africa to focus on the role of private enterprise in Africa’s development. Sullivan Summit VII, which will be held in Abuja, has four strategic objectives:

• To marshal resources to expand the private sector, build more economic infrastructure and transfer technologies to African nations
• To leverage the investment power of the Diaspora in support of these goals
• To promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the Global Sullivan Principles (GSP) among participants

Discussions at Summit VII, convened through plenary sessions and forums, will focus on three themes:

• creating facilitative conditions for the growth of the private sector
• connecting people and technologies to support the development of a productive population
• promoting international policies and business practices that promote Africa’s development
