Changing the narrative, shaping the future..
We believe programs must be designed to inform, empower, and build bridges — between citizens and government, business and society, data and decision-making.
Our impact is both measurable and meaningful.Grounded in the belief that inclusive development starts with informed societies.
Policy Intervention Series
Navigating Nigeria's 2024 Bond Strategy.
Advancing transparency, fostering economic dialogue.
Driving fiscal transparency through policy dialogue. In 2023, the BusinessDay Foundation hosted a high-level Policy Intervention Series focused on Nigeria’s Bond Issuance Programme for 2024. By convening government officials, economists, and market leaders, the Foundation helped bridge critical gaps between policy design and public understanding — reinforcing our role in advancing evidence-based dialogue and fiscal transparency.
Africa Trade & Investment Summit (ATIS).
ATIS is a convening platform established by the BusinessDay Foundation to drive cross-sector dialogue and media coverage around the future of trade, enterprise, and economic collaboration on the continent.
ATIS 2024 brought together leading voices from across Africa’s public and private sectors to discuss regional economic integration, investment flows, and the untapped opportunities in intra-African trade.
Three core objectives
- Positioning media as a tool for economic development through responsible reporting on policy and trade opportunities.
- Fostering investor and policymaker engagement in ways that prioritise inclusion, sustainability, and innovation.
- Promoting African economic agency by elevating African voices, solutions, and trade ecosystems on the global stage.
