Kevin Munjal is FSD Africa’s Director, Development Impact (DI). He provides thought leader to FSD Africa (including FSD Africa Investments) in the design, measurement, and adaptive management of impactful interventions. Kevin oversees the collection, analysis and interpretation of Development Impact data, and provides expert advice on how to design programmes and investments that have a beneficial impact on the growth, inclusiveness and sustainability of financial markets in Africa; financial markets that in turn contribute to Africa’s sustainable economic growth. He also oversees gender programming at FSD Africa, working with other colleagues to make FSD Africa a gender intentional organisation. He represents Management on the Development Committee – a committee of the Board that looks after FSD Africa’s development impact.
Kevin joined FSD Africa in December 2015 to set up the Development Impact function and has been leading its evolution ever since. He has more than 15 years of experience and expertise in designing, managing, and tracking the impact of inclusive growth development initiatives targeting different population categories across Africa. Prior to joining FSD Africa, Kevin worked with GOAL Global – at the intersection of humanitarian and development programming – where he led the organisation’s Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) efforts in Kenya. He also provided support to the Malawi and South Sudan country programmes. He has also worked with the Kenya Community Development Foundation and AMREF Health Africa in various MEAL and programme management capacities.
Kevin has a deep appreciation of the role of public and private sector development, market systems development, and public-private partnerships in advancing developing economies towards realising the Sustainable Development Goals. He is particularly passionate about the green growth agenda for Africa and seeks to contribute to it personally by planting trees and helping restore lost green spaces.
He holds a Masters in Population Studies from the University of Nairobi, a Bachelors degree in Public Health, and several certifications, including on Climate Finance.
