AACOSE, is a pan-African movement that addresses the challenges and opportunities in the social entrepreneurship space by convening stakeholders to foster collaboration, strengthen networks, and promote transformative business models rooted in Africa’s cultural heritage and values, aiming for growth and societal equity.

AACOSE 8 will highlight how social entrepreneurship contributes to the continent’s sustainable development and Africa’s diverse social and economic landscape. This conference is important in engaging in the discussion towards multisectoral collaboration between governments, the private sector, civil society, and international organisations so as to promote the growth of the social economy.
