The 5 pillars of impact investing
A systemic approach to building sustainable finance in Burkina Faso and accelerating the country's economic, social, and environmental development.
Capital supply
This pillar brings together all stakeholders who hold and deploy financial resources ready to be invested in projects with strong social and environmental impact in Burkina Faso.
Key stakeholders
To mobilize and channel capital flows, both domestic and international, toward local organizations that struggle to access financing aligned with their reality.
Our core ambition is to transform savings, endowments, and financial commitments into genuine drivers of sustainable development for Burkina Faso.
Capital demand
Demand is driven by the Burkinabè entrepreneurial fabric, which places the resolution of a societal or environmental challenge at the heart of its business model.
Project leaders
To showcase these project leaders and support them in becoming investment-ready, enabling them to articulate a structured and compelling financial need.
The financing needs covered include growth capital, working capital, and technical investments essential to scaling their business operations.
Capital intermediation
Intermediation acts as the strategic and operational bridge between capital holders and the entrepreneurs who need funding to develop their projects.
Ecosystem enablers
To reduce information asymmetry, structure transactions, lower costs, and strengthen managerial capacity before and after investment.
The ultimate goal is to ensure the long-term viability and transparency of financial partnerships across every actor in the ecosystem.
Policy framework & advocacy
This institutional pillar underpins the viability of the entire ecosystem by ensuring that the legal, fiscal, and political environment is conducive to investments with triple-bottom-line performance: economic, social, and environmental.
Public counterparts
To co-design enabling public policies: tax incentives for certified impact enterprises and secure legal frameworks for new financial instruments.
We act as an active force for proposal and advocacy engaging with the decision-making bodies of the Burkinabè state to advance sustainable finance.
Market & ecosystem builders
Market builders form the cognitive and infrastructural foundation that legitimizes and strengthens the credibility of impact investing among both the general public and industry professionals.
Knowledge producers
To produce reliable data, map opportunities, define impact measurement standards, and disseminate best practices across the market.
Our ambition is to position Burkina Faso as a leading hub for sustainable finance in West Africa, recognized for the strength of its ecosystem.
