Special Section on the New Economic Landscape of Africa

New York, NY, March 8, 2010 – As the landscape for economic growth on the African continent changes, All for Africa partnered with FORTUNE Magazine to tell this story.

The section represents the first time that FORTUNE has highlighted economic development on the African continent. The section features companies that are achieving success in developing natural resources, mobile telecommunications, finance, high-end agriculture and manufacturing; all with a focus on doing business with a comprehensive approach to sustainability and investment in local communities and social infrastructure.

One such example is told in the story of All for Africa, a New York based 501 (c ) 3 whose mission is to launch innovative projects that create sustainable local economies. All for Africa’s flagship program Palm Out Poverty was launched in September 2008. All for Africa, in collaboration with agribusiness company Herakles Farms, will fund the planting of 1 million oil palms in Ghana and Cameroon. The project will create hundreds of jobs and the revenues from the production and sale of the palm oil will be distributed to nonprofits and community level initiatives across the continent.

Companies throughout Africa are recognizing the value of doing business in Africa, and they are successfully accomplishing by partnering with local communities doing business in a way that is socially responsible and sustainable over the long-term.

All for Africa partners with the private sector to launch innovative projects that will help create sustainable local economies, thereby empowering African communities to better control their destinies. Our initiatives focus on health, education, skills training, clean water and micro financing on the continent of Africa.
