Webinar: Unpacking Market Systems Development

🌍 How Market Systems are Driving Africa’s Leap from Finance & Aid to Trade & Growth

For decades, Africa has been made to believe that it needs aid to survive — but what if our greatest wealth isn’t what others give us, but what we already have?

At Ambi Light Up, we believe Africa’s true assets aren’t financial stocks or bonds — they’re our people, creativity, skills, culture, land, resources and traditions.

Yet these assets often go undervalued while dependency systems persist.

It’s time for a new model — one that empowers communities to design, own, and sustain their growth.

That’s the power of Market Systems Development (MSD) — a shift from aid-driven dependency to trade-driven resilience.

💡 Reflect:

a) What would change if Africa invested in its people & communities as assets, not beneficiaries?

b) How can markets replace dependency with dignity?

c) What system will you help build?

Join us as we explore how market systems are transforming economies, creating jobs, and unlocking inclusive growth across Africa.
