Our Advocacy Role

As a pan-African platform dedicated to transforming the African financial industry, AFIS facilitates meaningful dialogue between industry leaders and policymakers. Through the collective expertise of our community, we contribute to informed public discourse and support evidence-based policy development. We act like a direct link between the leading voices of African finance and the global ecosystem. AFIS transforms the ideas and recommendations formulated within its Steering Committee into compelling calls to action. Through thought-provoking opinion pieces, incisive reports and media appearances, AFIS ensures that the most pressing issues of financial integration, stability and innovation are brought to the attention of policymakers and market participants across the continent.

This voice goes beyond raising awareness; it actively champions transformative policies designed to foster resilience, inclusion and sustainable growth. By facilitating open dialogue between public authorities and the private sector, AFIS accelerates the understanding of evolving market challenges and regulatory requirements. Thus, our approach is a driver of action that promotes systemic improvement and unlocks Africa’s full financial potential.
