NEA is a platform for nurturing the emergence of a new economy, one that challenges the status quo to build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. By building networks, innovating, and promoting investments, together they can realize a new economy. An economy that maximizes human well-being and is capable of coping with and adapting to global environmental change. Their mission is to catalyze this new economy so that it can create new opportunities through the cultivation of relationships, experimenting, and changing the current narrative. To do so, they are a platform where actors connect, a community of practices grows, and emerging solutions spread. They share stories of innovations on the ground, change the economic narrative, and build a critical mass of changemakers. NEA is coordinated by AfriCGE as the African partner of a global movement for the new economy. One of their collective goals is to support 50 new economy initiatives over the coming 3 years. The NEA initiative is born at a time when the fastest growing economies are located in Africa, and where foreign investor sentiments are very optimistic. It’s therefore an opportune time for Africa to set itself on a development trajectory that will ultimately address the root causes of poverty, conflict, and inequality. They don’t know what an alternative development pathway looks like, but they do know that there are practices on the ground that are bravely charting new courses. The goal of NEA is to be an agent of change, a community where stories are heard, ideas are nurtured, and action is stimulated.
