Joanne Y., Partner at Development Partners International (DPI) spoke to Amy Carroll for Private Equity International's annual Africa Special Report to discuss the huge untapped potential in gender lens investing.

I recently had the opportunity to speak at the Zambia Impact Investment Summit where industry leaders collaborated through fireside chats, interactive roundtable discussions and connecting with other entrepreneurs within the African business community. We came together to discuss how we can make it possible for more Zambian start ups to thrive. My argument? We’ve got to keep building thriving, financial ecosystems. By putting more money in at the bottom we create and build great businesses out the top. If we don’t identify and invest at the grass roots level, we can’t grow big businesses. And if we don’t do that we won’t grow economies and we won’t see developing nations rise. We need champions to come along side and support us in our endeavors to grow developing entrepreneurial ecosystems and help women rise so they can help their countries rise. Fund a woman and you not only fund her family - you fund her city and her nation! #BuildingtheFuture #EmpowerHer #ZambiaEntrepreneurs #EconomicImpact

🔍 What role can the Venture Capital/Private Equity (VC/PE) sector have in advancing social equality and impact in Ghana? This is one of the questions examined in pioneering research conducted by Impact Investing Ghana (IIGh), the GSG-affiliated Ghana National Advisory Board (NAB) which marks a significant step in understanding and progressing the impact investing landscape in Ghana. 📊The study highlights the VC/PE market's size, capital sources, and growth opportunities, emphasising the potential for local pension fund investments. It also identifies barriers to domestic investors, such as a lack of detailed performance data on VC/PE funds, and recommendations to overcome these challenges. This includes greater collaboration between researchers and industry experts, crucial for generating actionable data. Learn more about IIGh’s VC/PE research in part one of our three-part blog series, where we dive into how NABs are joining forces with local research institutes and think tanks ▶️ https://lnkd.in/eEHuGsE2 This work is a result of the support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and our collaboration with On Think Tanks (OTT). #ImpactInvesting #SustainableFinance #EmergingMarkets
