We take risks, catalyse fresh thinking, and test new approaches in
order to creatively disrupt the status quo, change broken systems
and provide opportunities for all.

We continually ask difficult questions, challenge obsolete norms, and
support others in their efforts to do the same. We look for strategic
opportunities to promote our point of view and to move innovation
from the periphery to the mainstream.

As a partnership of organizations, institutions and individuals, collaboration
is core to who we are. We believe that respect, diverse perspectives and the
open exchange of ideas will lead to the innovative solutions and catalytic
change that Africa needs.

We are committed to making material improvements in the lives of low-
income people, cities, and the systems that affect them. We hold ourselves
accountable for evaluating our effectiveness and are intentionally self-
reflective as we strive to continuously improve, adapt, and inform future
innovation.
