Case Study Submissions

Home / Case Study Submission

The SVAI case study database is a digital collection of Shared Value cases from across the African continent.

The case studies reflect the implementation and impact of Shared Value business strategies in Africa’s diverse economic environments. The purpose of the database is not only to further Shared Value research on the continent but also to highlight successful strategic approaches and companies doing good while doing good business, as well as to create awareness of the effectiveness of Shared Value with regards to both economic and social impact.
