Upcoming Events

The first IB/IGB Forum was held on 22 October 2024 in Ghana. Company awards was be given on 16 November 2024 through AGI.

IB/IGB promotion by partners

The IB/IGB promotion is a private sector led, government owned and development partners supported initiative, implemented by multiple stakeholders from government, business associations, impact investors, business facilitators and development partners.

The role of AGI

In July 2024, GIZ and AGI concluded a Memorandum of Agreement for AGI to help institutionalizing the IB/IGB initiative. This will include (a) establishing a website, (b) conducting the first IB/IGB accreditation and award, (c) and doing advocacy work for endorsing the strategic program for promoting IB/IGB.

Accrediting IB/IGB companies

In the first IB/IGB accreditation  15 companies  were awarded. In 2013 those 15 firms had a consolidated revenue of GhC 988 million and reached 1.87 million poor and low-income people. Imaging, if 15 companies create so much revenue and reach results and show substantial growth in both, how much more can be achieved when the IB/IGB initiative is scaled to include many more firms.

IDR-BCM

he IB/IGB initative provides for business coaching and mentoring under an impact-drives-return approach (IDR-BCM) . An IDR-BCM committee will oversee the work.
