One Africa Summit 2026
About this event
One Africa Summit.
Across Africa and the Arab World, social entrepreneurs are already creating solutions to some of our most pressing challenges from youth unemployment and gender inequality to climate pressures and water scarcity. Yet too often, these solutions remain separated by borders, systems, and limited opportunities for collaboration.
One Africa starts from a different belief: the solutions already exist. What is needed is greater connection, collaboration, agency, and shared leadership to help them travel, adapt, and influence systems across contexts.
But this collaboration has already begun.
Over the past months, Ashoka Fellows from different countries and regions have been coming together to exchange experiences, explore common challenges, and build cross-border collaborations. The One Africa Summit will be a moment to bring these connections to life to showcase the results of collaborations that are already underway, celebrate what Fellows have created together, and open the door to new partnerships across the continent.
This is not just a convening. It is the beginning of a sustained, Fellow-led collaboration across the continent.
