NAIROBI, Kenya, 24 September 2024/African Media Agency/- Fintech stakeholders from around the world recently converged in Nairobi, Kenya, for the 12th edition of the Africa Fintech Summit. The three-day event, which ran from September 4 to September 6, 2024, welcomed 680 in-person delegates from 62 countries, with over 1,000 more participating virtually.
Focused on the theme “Fintech in Every Industry,” #AFTSNairobi2024 connected fintech innovators, banking and finance executives, investors, regulators, and ecosystem enablers for conversations around the state and future of fintech in Africa and the sector’s role in driving the growth of other industries. The focus was on fintech’s ability to improve efficiency, access, transparency, and reliability in industries such as insurance, healthcare, real estate, climate tech, and even governance.
AFTSNairobi2024 kicked off with its customary VIP Dinner on the 4th. Dignitaries enjoyed fine dining and engaging conversations at the Nairobi Capital Club, courtesy of Onafriq and Circle. Both companies announced a new partnership geared at driving financial inclusion across Africa.
Day two began with five keynote addresses. Each of these notable speakers delivered a short address on critical topics ranging from fintech’s role in driving commerce in Africa to Kenya’s digital transformation efforts: H.E. Wamkele Mene, Secretary-General, African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat; H.E. Eng. John Tanui CBS, PS, State Department & Digital Economy, ICT, Keny; Stanley Kamanguy, CEO, ICT Authority of Kenya; Esther Waititu, Chief Financial Services Officer, Safaricom, and Zekarias Amsalu, Co-founder & MD, Africa Fintech Summit.
A quick fireside chat with Paystack co-founder and CEO Shola Akinlade focused on his entrepreneurial journey served as the opener for a flurry of panel discussions focused on fintech and its overlap with other industries. One of such panel sessions examined mobile money’s continuous role in fostering financial inclusion and access in Africa, featuring speakers from Visa, M-PESA, GSMA, and others.
The mobile money panelists agreed on interoperability as the next level in unlocking mobile money’s potential to drive value for all stakeholders. For customers, it will remove the barriers that prevent the transfer of money between different mobile money services, enabling faster, cheaper, and easier transactions. For mobile money service providers, interoperability will increase the desirability of their products and create a larger market to tap into, while African economies will benefit from the ease of moving money that an interoperable mobile money ecosystem will create.
Several other panel sessions, workshops, and two exclusive Kenyan regulatory and African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) roundtables were interspersed by coffee and lunch breaks, which also doubled as networking sessions and opportunities for side engagements such as the Excellence in Fintech Award Ceremony. Exceptional African and Africa-focused fintech stakeholders ranging from fintech companies and other financial institutions to investors and other ecosystem enablers were recognized across twenty categories. Big names like M-PESA, Interswitch, Flutterwave, Paystack, Visa, MDP, Moniepoint, OPay, Ecobank, 54 Collective, Amazon Web Services, and MTN were among the awardees selected via public voting.
Day three was just as eventful. It began with three ecosystem tours tagged Investing in Kenya (sponsored by Bank of America), Expanding into Kenya (sponsored by CB Group), and STEM Students – Learning from Silicon Savannah (sponsored by Chevron). The first two focused on helping interested delegates understand the logistics of investing and expanding into Kenya, while the third tour aimed to provide STEM students with knowledge about Kenya’s tech ecosystem and how they can build tech careers. All tours took place within Nairobi and collectively had eight stops, including Nairobi Securities Exchange, KenInvest Office, Two Rivers International Finance and Innovation Center (TRIFIC), CB Group, and others.
Proceedings on the final day continued with masterclasses back at the JW Marriott Hotel, touching on everything from storytelling and branding in the startup world to how founders should protect themselves when negotiating with investors. The three-day summit came to a fitting end with the Alpha Expo Pitch Competition, which saw 15 African startups take to the stage to pitch their solutions to a panel of judges and attendees. Uganda’s Flow Global finished in first place, while Rwanda’s Ironji and Tanzania’s KiasiApp were second and third, respectively. All participants got $25,000 in AWS cloud credits courtesy of Amazon Web Services (AWS), while the top three startups also won prizes from Numeris, African Media Agency, Trends Research, and The Kenyan Wall Street.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Listed FDH Bank plc has contributed MK6 million to the Economic Association of Malawi (ECAMA) Annual Lake Conference set for November this year.
The conference, according to ECAMA, aims to tackle the country’s pressing economic challenges, including inflation, currency depreciation, and unemployment.
Speaking after presenting the cheque in Blantyre on Tuesday, FDH Bank plc Public Relations Manager, Lorraine Chikhula, emphasized the Bank’s commitment to Malawi’s economic development.
“One of our pillars under the sustainability program is our economy, where we make the commitments to improve social conditions by focusing on health, education, sports, and the environment among others.”
“Our support for ECAMA’s conference underscores our dedication to promoting economic growth and stability,” said Chikhula.
ECAMA’s acting president, Bertha Bangara-Chikadza, expressed gratitude to FDH Bank plc for their generous contribution and also highlighted the need for collective efforts to drive economic growth in Malawi.
“The current economic landscape presents numerous challenges, and it is crucial we work together to find solutions,” said Chikadza.
This year’s ECAMA Lakeshore conference is themed ‘Economic priorities for a vulnerable economy’.
BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Giant alcoholic beverages producer, Castel Malawi Limited, has committed K20 million to an Employee Volunteering charity initiative which aims at contributing to community support and strengthening the relationship between Castel Malawi and the local communities.
Castel Malawi’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Manager, Linda Kolomba said under this initiative, Castel Malawi employees are making enormous efforts to reach out to communities, hear their stories and try to find sustainable solutions with the aim of establishing long-lasting relationships.
Over the weekend, the employees reached out to two centres in Blantyre, Tidzalerana Shelter and Courageous Kids Foundation where they interacted with the beneficiaries and donated various food and non-food items.
“This initiative is under the Castel Malawi’s Employees Volunteering Program where we would want to engage largely with our local communities in different social initiatives. We want our employees to take part in these Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives which the company is doing,” said Kolomba.
The Castel employees first visited Tidzalerana Shelter in Ndirande township which hosts 12 people with disabilities. The shelter also supports 34 other disabled people who live in the surrounding areas.
According to the Shelter’s Manager, Frank Banda, the facility supports people with various degrees of disabilities. However, they seek support, because they solely depend on donors and well-wishers to sustain the livelihood of the beneficiaries.
“We are thankful to Castel Malawi for this donation. They have given us exactly what we were lacking, and this support will go a long way in ensuring that the people with disabilities who are hosted here, have food and other necessities,” said Banda.
From Ndirande, the Castel Malawi employees proceeded to Mpemba, where Courageous Kids Foundation is situated, hosting 98 orphans. These young people also depend on well-wishers for food and other basic needs.
The mother and founder of the orphanage, Courageous Musasa, said their main challenge is to find food and school fees, for the kids.
“I am short of words over what Castel Malawi has done for us. We did not expect them to make such a donation. Running this facility has not been an easy task, but through such donations we are able to survive. We have intelligent kids here, some of whom have made it to Secondary Schools and Universities across the country, but paying for their school fees has been our greatest challenge,” said Musasa.
Some of the donated items included beddings, maize flour, beans, bonya, soya pieces, school materials, paint, soap, and other assorted items. Kolomba said this gesture will also be extended to other centres in the Central and Northern regions.
Castel Malawi will continue to find means of sustainable support to such needy community organisations, rather than giving once off donations, according to Kolomba.
NEW YORK-(MANA)-President Lazarus Chakwera has urged potential investors in the United States of America (USA) that Malawi is the best investment destination with resilient economic growth, stable and peaceful country.
The President said this on Sunday evening at the Martinique Hotel in New York during a second edition of the Malawi-Partners Conference, held on the margins of the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
Addressing the potential investors, Chakwera said Malawi has 5.3 million hectares of arable land, representing 45 percent of its total land area; adding that the country has abundant water resources, coupled with several major river systems.
In addition, President Chakwera told the would-be investors that Malawi has access to a market of over 100 million people in the SADC and COMESA regions.
“We have a visionary, stable, democratic political leadership which are all key to creating an enabling environment for public and private funding investments in an open economy,” he said.
The Malawi leader said the country has also recently developed a One-Stop Service Centre for investment and trade Promotion through the Malawi Investment and Trade Centre (MITC), adding that Malawi has a large, highly educated, skilled, hardworking, trainable workforce.
The Malawi leader further said that the country is also a gold mine of agricultural experience, flooded with untapped specific projects and economic opportunities waiting to be explored.
Amid catastrophic climate and health-related shocks, Chakwera said his government continues to lay a solid foundation for Malawis prosperity.
“Malawi is not only a land of opportunities, but also a nation ready to meet the global demand for high-quality products.
“We have a web of rivers and lakes, and arable land that is fit-for-purpose of high-value agricultural production zones,” he added.
Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi who also attended the conference echoed his counterparts sentiment by assuring potential investors that Malawi is endowed with so many natural resources which he said are conducive for investment.
“I would like to agree with my brother here that just like in Malawi, agriculture also plays a critical role in Mozambique and Africa as a whole in terms of providing primary source of livelihood, and income to the majority of the population.
“I encourage you to come and invest in Malawi because they have what it takes in terms of marketing among others,” he said.
The first edition of the Malawi-Partners Conference was also held at the same venue and some of the fruits of the conference include the ongoing construction of the Magwero Industrial Park near Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) whose resources were committed by the Afreximbank at that time.
Other commitments from last years conference that have materialized include the World Bank-financed Regional Climate Resilience Program, IFAD-funded Sustainable Agriculture Productivity Program, and the Building Education Foundation Project that the Global Partnership for Education is financing.
The 2024 edition of the Malawi-Partners conference was held under the theme “Securing Our Future: Enhancing Investment in Agriculture for Sustainable Food Security.”

NEW YORK-(MANA)-Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs, Simplex Chithyola Banda has disclosed that the African Development Bank (AfDB) has approved more than 50 million US Dollars towards agriculture productivity and commercialisation including procurement of relief maize.
The minister disclosed this in New York, where President Chakwera held the 2024 Malawi Partners Conference on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
Among other high-level dignitaries at the conference, the Malawi leader, met the AfDB Group, President, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, Mozambican President, Filipe Nyusi and a Tanzanian delegation.
“The support includes 30 million US dollars, 23 million Dollars, and 1 million US Dollars. All these are coming separately with different purposes from the African Development Bank. Further, more support is coming from the same bank.
“On food production, the AfDB is more than ready to support the Malawi Government to embark on a programme of pumping water from Lake Malawi for irrigation,” he said.
Chithyola Banda said AfDB interventions will improve Malawi’s economy on top of empowering the young people to venture into the agricultural value chain.
He added that the AfDB assistance to Malawi is a clear demonstration of confidence and trust in the current administration.
“Institutions like African Development Bank have demonstrated degree of confident and trust in the leadership of Dr. Lazarus Chakwera and the reform programme that Malawi is undertaking in various sectors.
“I have liked some aspects in President Chakwera’s speech in which he said Malawi needs to rework in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to re-estimate the GDP based on green economy of how much is the country worth in terms of carbon financing,” he said, adding that analysing the GDP will give a true picture of Malawi’s economic growth,” he said.
He said going back to the drawing board, Malawi will also work on how natural resources could stimulate the economy.
