COLLABORATION WITH UNITED NATIONS CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND 

We join forces with the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) to scale-up private investment in underserved regions and explore new cooperation models.  

 

Under our strategic partnership agreement, joint activities include deal sourcing, feasibility studies, financial structuring, co-investing and risk management.

INVESTING IN ZANZIBAR SEAWEED FARMERS

In cooperation with the Zanzibar Seaweed Company (ZASCO), we lead a public-private partnership to produce high-value seaweed products for the international market.

 

Our modern R&D laboratory and production facility will move Zanzibar seaweed products up the value chain and improve the livelihoods of local communities, in particular women.

KORLE LAGOON CLEAN-UP & DEVELOPMENT

In cooperation with the Government and local Chiefs, our mandate is to structure investment in the rehabilitation and development of the Korle Lagoon in Ghana's capital Accra.  

 

The project represents a bold vision for sustainable waterfront development of the once beautiful lagoon, creating jobs and improving livelihoods.

NEW MODELS TO DEAL WITH GROWING WASTE 

Globally, only a small part of waste is recovered or recycled, yet investment in new technologies and systems for integrated waste management faces major barriers.

We are working on the up-take of cutting-edge technologies and business processes capable of transforming waste management for a cleaner and healthier environment.

CLIMATE LOSS AND DAMAGE FUND 

The Loss and Damage Fund, adopted by the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), intends to provide financial relief to the most vulnerable nations.

 

We contributed expertise for the design and operationalisation of the Fund with the Synthesis Report on Existing Funding Arrangements and Innovative Sources Relevant to Addressing Loss and Damage.

DEBT SWAPS FOR SOCIAL INVESTMETNS

The debt issue is back on the international agenda and for good reason: In 2022, developing countries spent USD 443.5 billion to service public debt - double the amount spent on social services.

With support from the Rockefeller Foundation, we contributed expertise to the G20 on structuring and implementing debt swaps in the report on Debt for Health Swaps.

INVESTING IN EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY

Consumers, companies and regulators are interested in the sustainability of materials in supply chains and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) systems have proven effective.

 

We work with innovators on up-take of digital tools capable of seamless material and products tracking throughout supply chains. ​
