A catalyst for accelerating the Thabo Mbeki Foundation's vision
A Collective of progressive African leaders, harnessing our members' time, networks and resources to advance the African Renaissance.
Our anchor
Built to resource the Thabo Mbeki Foundation
The African Renaissance Collective exists to support and resource the Thabo Mbeki Foundation — financially, and through the skills, networks and experience of its members. Everything the Collective does remains aligned with the Foundation's core objectives, directing the collective capability of Africa's leaders toward a single purpose: accelerating Africa's Renaissance.

Why we exist
The Vision

We unite Africa's progressive individuals and provide platforms for reflection, dialogue and impactful action.
Identity and pride
We drive the rediscovery of a unified African identity to inspire transformative action and sustainable growth.
