What this site covers
Concepts and Tools
What IB/IGB is
Commercially viable business lines designed for scaled, systemic solutions to the income, living-standard, or environmental challenges of poor and low-income people.
Company

Ten features, from the institutional setup and accreditation to coaching, incentives, finance, and impact reporting.
Knowledge
Events and partners
The first IB Forum, workshops and briefings, and the institutions that carry the initiative.
Three wins, by design
Inclusive Businesses and Inclusive Green Businesses are commercially viable business lines of private sector companies. They are deliberately designed to create scaled-up, innovative, and systemic solutions for the income and living standards of poor and low-income people, or for their environmental challenges. The business lines can sit in any sector. The companies can be of any size except micro, measured by revenue.

Who supports the initiative
The IB/IGB initiative is supported by development partners, government agencies, and impact investors. Initial financing came from GIZ. AGI is now approaching new sources of funding, including private sector foundations, high-net-worth individuals, and corporate social responsibility opportunities.
The secretariat is chaired by AGI and co-chaired by MoTAI. For a question about the program, the companies, or the next accreditation round, write to the secretariat.
