What We Do
Connecting Continents Through Action
ACSIS transforms dialogue into impact through three strategic pillars: world-class events, powerful advocacy, and transformative partnerships.
How We Drive Change
At ACSIS, we believe that lasting change requires multiple approaches—convening global leaders at strategic moments, advocating for policy reform at the highest levels, and building partnerships that turn vision into reality. Our work spans three interconnected pillars that together create a comprehensive platform for Africa-Caribbean collaboration.
Global Summits & Virtual Exchanges
ACSIS hosts global summits on an annual basis, showcasing the greatest minds of the current generation's thought leadership. Our summits bring together change-makers and leading professionals from across Africa, the Caribbean, and the global diaspora—creating unparalleled opportunities for high-level dialogue, strategic partnerships, and transformative collaboration. Each summit is carefully designed to facilitate meaningful engagement across sectors: from sustainable finance and climate resilience to healthcare innovation and reparative justice. Through keynote addresses, panel discussions, investor roundtables, and partnership marketplaces, ACSIS events create the conditions for ideas to become action and conversations to become commitments. Beyond our flagship summits, ACSIS hosts virtual 'Exchange' webinars on a monthly basis—maintaining year-round momentum and ensuring continuous engagement between our community members. These digital convenings provide accessible platforms for knowledge sharing, policy dialogue, and relationship building—keeping the Africa-Caribbean conversation alive between major events.
HIGH-LEVEL ACCESS
Direct engagement with heads of state, CEOs, and policymakers driving decisions that shape Africa-Caribbean relations.
ACTION-ORIENTED
Not just talk—our events are designed for deal-making and partnership formation with dedicated spaces for negotiations.
YEAR-ROUND ENGAGEMENT
Monthly virtual exchanges keep the momentum going between annual summits, ensuring continuous collaboration.
Amplifying Voices, Shaping Policy
ACSIS champions policies and initiatives that empower African and Caribbean communities across the globe. Through strategic engagement with governments, institutions, and civil society, we push for equitable development, reparative justice, climate resilience, and inclusive economic policies. Our advocacy work is rooted in the belief that those closest to the challenges are best positioned to design the solutions. We amplify voices that are too often underrepresented in global forums, ensuring that our shared histories, experiences, and aspirations inform the decisions that shape our futures. By convening policymakers, development partners, and community leaders, ACSIS creates spaces where evidence-based policy recommendations can be developed, refined, and championed. We don't just advocate for change—we equip stakeholders with the research, frameworks, and relationships needed to make change happen.
REPARATIVE JUSTICE
Advocating for policies that address historical injustices and create pathways for healing and restoration.
CLIMATE RESILIENCE
Championing adaptation finance and climate action that protects vulnerable communities.
ECONOMIC EQUITY
Pushing for fair trade, investment frameworks, and policies that drive inclusive growth.
Building Alliances That Transform
Partnerships are the foundation of ACSIS's impact. We collaborate with governments, private sector leaders, development institutions, and grassroots organizations to create meaningful, cross-regional alliances that accelerate innovation, expand opportunities, and amplify our shared vision for sustainable growth. By uniting diverse expertise and resources from across sectors and continents, ACSIS partnerships achieve what no single entity could accomplish alone. We provide a dynamic platform where partners can connect, co-create, and contribute to transformative change—whether through joint ventures, knowledge exchange, capacity building, or resource mobilization. Our partnership model is built on mutual respect, shared accountability, and aligned values. We seek partners who are committed not just to engagement, but to long-term collaboration that generates measurable impact for African and Caribbean communities. Together, we're building a global ecosystem rooted in equity, resilience, and mutual prosperity.
