Our Theory of Change
Financing a Sustainable Future
We believe that the financial sector plays a crucial role in tackling real sector challenges such as poverty, climate change and biodiversity loss. Financial Service Providers in Africa’s are slowly recognizing the need for integrating social and environmental aspects into their business models. We are collaborating with partners and using a variety of techniques to address key challenges and other financial sector issues hampering innovation in financial products and services. We investigate many pathways to attaining sustainable financial sector development impacting environment and African economies.
