Africa IQ is a non-profit organization with a mission to create an Africa beyond aid. We provide access to impartial business intelligence in order to attract and sustain investment in African markets. At the core of our mission is the belief that business rather than aid is the most effective path to sustainable economic growth and development. Africa certainly has all the making of a compelling investment case — natural resources, rapid economic and population growth, and an improving environment in which to invest and do business. Yet, limited access to publicly available market intelligence prevents Africa from realizing its full growth potential. So we created Africa IQ to exclusively focus on dispelling misperceptions about the challenges of doing business in Africa.
