Impact Management Workshop

Impact-First Investing: Empowering African Investors for Sustainable Development

This workshop is designed for fund managers and other investors who are aiming to enter or expand their footprint in the impact investing space. As impact investing gains importance, we have designed an interactive session to share how to consider impact in your investments, design an impact framework to guide decision-making and navigate the complexities of this investment space. We hope to use our collective experience, insights and best-practices to support this community of practitioners and thought leaders in becoming better investors. 

What to expect

The objective of this workshop is to support senior leaders (Investment Officers) to:

•  Present the Operating Principles for Impact Management as a simple, comprehensive, effective, and globally recognised, conceptual framework design and implement impact investment strategies
• Present a real-life exercise on how investors can apply these principles, with a particular focus on

1.   Building an effective and practical “minimum viable product” impact framework

2.   Positioning the institution on the return-impact spectrum and how to prioritise across multi-dimensional impact objectives.

• Provide a springboard for further learning and investment partnerships between local investors and development finance institutions.
