About Us
We’re a full suite impact consultancy, working at both ends of the impact chain - enabling organisations to measure and demonstrate their impact more effectively, and advising impact investors on how to deploy capital more strategically.
The challenge we're here to solve
We’ve noticed that many organisations in both non-profit and for-profit sectors struggle to demonstrate their impact, leaving high-potential initiatives underfunded while investors lack the data and partners they need to deploy impact capital effectively. Conventional M&E systems add to the problem - often costly, outdated, and inefficient - creating blind spots that stall both funding flows and systemic change.
Our solution
By operating at this intersection of impact measurement and investment, African Impact offers an end-to-end hybrid solution that ensures capital reaches the organisations best equipped to deliver change – backed by credible data, bespoke frameworks, and an agile, hands-on team with a strong track record across finance, society, and the environment.
Our unique approach breaks down silos and de-risks capital flows at both ends of the impact chain. The result is stronger alignment, greater accountability, and more effective deployment of impact capital to where it matters most.
Our values
At African Impact, our work is guided by a commitment to building systems and strategies that are not only effective - but sustainable, realistic, and enduring.
Our values are reflected in every partnership:
-
We value rigour with simplicity, building tools and frameworks that withstand scrutiny without overwhelming the teams that use them.
-
We prioritise clarity with flexibility, creating strategies that evolve with context while staying anchored in purpose.
-
We pursue efficiency by design, developing lean, practical solutions that deliver results without unnecessary burden.
-
And above all, we champion sustainability – of systems, relationships, capital flows, and outcomes.
Because when values drive the work, impact isn’t just measured – it’s multiplied.
