The 2023 Thrive Africa Vegan Restaurant Week was the world’s first pan-Africa-wide vegan campaign.

An Africa-wide campaign and week-long celebration organised by organizations from all across Africa. All participants simultaneously launched the campaign in their countries, creating an Africa-wide effort to increase accessibility to healthy, plant-based food options and encourage restaurants to adopt vegan menus.

2023 was the inaugural Thrive Africa Vegan Restaurant Week with 29 participating organizations and 50 participating restaurants from 15 countries and widespread international media attention.

Thrive Africa Vegan Restaurant Week amplifies the plant-based food justice movement across Africa by increasing accessibility for healthy, convenient, plant-based options, and replacing animal products with healthy, sustainable, plant-based restaurant meals, while also bringing widespread awareness to veganism and healthy eating.
