By putting in place investor-friendly policies and establishing a national advisory board to catalyse impact investment, Kenya can unlock $6 billion of capital to finance programmes aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
This was the conclusion reached at the inaugural Global Steering Group for Impact Investment, Kenya Impact Dialogue on December 10. More than 200 investors, entrepreneurs, policy-makers and development finance professionals convened in Nairobi for the summit. Impact investing is made into companies or organisations that have a social and environmental impact, and also yield financial returns.
