LEADERSHIP MATTERS

CDC has been building businesses in Africa for over 65 years. We know that the quality of leadership, more than any other single factor, determines whether a company succeeds or fails.

If we are to see Africa thrive in the coming decades, the continent will need a generation of emerging leaders who are equipped for both the opportunities and challenges ahead. The Africa List is a new kind of community designed with exactly these needs in mind.

OUR MODEL

IDENTIFY

Identify the future business leaders of Africa’s next growth economies

CONNECT

Bring these high-performers together at regular country-level gatherings and build a community

EQUIP

Partner with leading business schools and seasoned experts to further develop the core management and leadership skills required of the continent’s next leaders

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE?

NEXT CEOS

There are many forums for seasoned CEOs. This is about connecting and equipping Africa’s next generation of exceptional business leaders.

PRIVATE SECTOR FOCUS

The private sector is the engine of any economy. The Africa List brings together the business leaders propelling their companies and economies forward.

ACROSS ALL INDUSTRIES

Our community reflects the diversity of each economy and includes decision makers from across all industries in the private sector.

WORLD CLASS BUSINESS TRAINING

The Africa List is much more than a network. It's an environment where members can be exposed to world-class leadership and management training.

TOP 100 COMPANIES

A country’s top 100 businesses play an outsized role in creating jobs and driving economic growth. Our membership is drawn from these companies.

HIGH POTENTIAL COUNTRIES

We are building a forward looking community that includes high potential countries beyond the well-known regional hubs of South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya.

LOCAL COMMUNITY, REGIONAL NETWORKS

The Africa List succeeds because it operates at a country level yet as we expand, our members benefit from a wider regional peer group.

REGULAR QUARTERLY GATHERINGS

Regular face-to-face events allow for real relationships to be built.
