About
An institutional convening for Africa's next decade
The First Replenishment Conference brings philanthropy, enterprise, institutions and African leadership into one room to resource high-impact work across the continent.
The Global Fund of Africa exists to move capital toward high-impact, locally grounded initiatives across the African continent — health, education, food security, water, humanitarian response, women and children, enterprise, climate and community development.
The inaugural First Replenishment Conference, held on December 18, 2026 at the Fairmont Château Laurier in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, opens the proposed 2027–2030 replenishment cycle. It is a working convening: sessions are designed to translate intent into documented partnership, not simply to discuss it.
The daytime programme is the institutional convening. In the evening, invited guests gather for MBOMBO Gala Night — 2nd Edition, RENAISSANCE, a celebration of life, purpose and humanity.
The $1 billion figure is the proposed 2027–2030 replenishment goal. It is a target. It does not represent amounts raised, pledged, committed or secured.
