Abstract
This document contains a summary and speaking guide for the virtual dialogue hosted by The Foreign Policy magazine in collaboration with the U.S. African Development Foundation intended to explore how African enterprises are innovating in the face of COVID-19. The dialogue explored grassroots investment and sustainable growth in Africa and its effect in supporting COVID-19 recovery with spotlights on agriculture, off-grid energy, entrepreneurship etc. The discussion showcased innovative projects that foster socio-economic resilience among vulnerable communities and ways in which targeted private sector investment has strengthened local capacity across the continent to weather this shock.
