Institutionalization

A board oversees the initiative. A secretariat runs it. Three committees decide accreditation, coaching, and investment finance.

The dedicated institutional setup has five parts.

  • A multi-stakeholder oversight board: 4 government agencies, 3 business associations, 2 impact investing networks, 2 business facilitators, 3 IB/IGB companies rotating, and 3 development partners rotating.
  • A secretariat chaired by AGI and co-chaired by MoTAI. The secretariat coordinates and initiates IB/IGB support. The board has met twice, in May 2025 and April 2026. The next meeting is planned for early 2027.
  • Three coordination committees, deciding on IB/IGB accreditation, on Impact-Drives-Return business coaching, and on IB/IGB investment financing.
  • Champions and focal points inside the stakeholder institutions.
  • Guidelines, prepared by the secretariat, for clarifying IB/IGB and for implementing the support programs.

Who sits where

The oversight diagram gives the working composition. Government members of the board are drawn from MoF (alternate), MoTAI (chair) and GEA. Business associations are drawn from AGI (alternate) and GNCCI (chair). Impact investors are VCTF and IIGh. Business facilitators are GHN and GCYE. Three companies with IB/IGB business lines rotate annually, representing income, living standards, and environmental and climate results.

The accreditation committee brings together AGI, GCYE, CAG and SEGh with MoTAI, GEA, MoFA and MESTI. The investment committee brings together VCTF, MoF, IIGh and GVCA (GIPC). The IDR coaching committee brings together GHN, GCYE, AGI, GEA, ESO, GCIC and SEGh. An IB Center sits in the arrangement beside the committees.
