The economy of Africa consists of the trade, industry, agriculture, and human resources of the continent. As of 2019, approximately 1.3 billion people were living in 54 countries in Africa. Africa is a resource-rich continent. Recent growth has been due to growth in sales in commodities, services, and manufacturing. West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, and Southern Africa in particular, are expected to reach a combined GDP of $29 trillion by 2050.

The Canada-Africa International Investors Summit is an annual business summit organized FAAVM Africa to attract domestic and foreign investment for international development. Based on the theme– Africa’s Growth and Prosperity, and aimed at bringing together business leaders, investors, corporations, policy, and opinion makers; international governments, and private investors, the summit serves as a perfect platform to understand and explore business opportunities for the African region.
The Canada-Africa International Investors Summit also works with other countries in the region, and where challenges benefit from regional approaches, we work with continental institutions such as the African Union and the African Development Bank, La Francophonie, African Union as well as regional economic communities. In 2018, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows to Africa defied the global downward trend and rose to $46 billion, an 11 per cent increase after successive declines in 2016 and 2017. Africa is a resource-rich continent. Recent growth has been due to growth in sales in commodities, services, and manufacturing. West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, and Southern Africa in particular, are expected to reach a combined GDP of $29 trillion by 2050.
The Canada-Africa International Investors Summit promotes an integrated approach to security, development, and regional cooperation, and we encourage this approach among the governments and partners we work with. Helping volatile areas achieve greater stability allows important humanitarian work and the delivery of international assistance to take place. The summit helps strengthen the peace and security capacity of African countries and promotes support for training military and police forces in many African countries, both to enhance their skills and to prepare them for participating in international peacekeeping operations.
