At NCDFGroup, we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact through our strategic investments and commitment to sustainable development. Our approach encompasses various key areas, including community investments, impact management, and fostering inclusive and resilient businesses.
We recognize the growing demands for support from local communities and strive to meet these needs through flexible and predictable funding. In our Strategic Framework for 2024-2028, we aim to secure $25 million from regular investors and $75 million through green and social bonds, ensuring our ability to effectively support community initiatives.
Impact is at the core of our work, and we are committed to supporting productive, sustainable, and inclusive development. Our world-class impact management approach ensures that impact considerations are integrated into every step of our investment process. We adhere to the Operating Principles for Impact Management, demonstrating our dedication to responsible and impactful investing.
Our Impact Framework serves as a comprehensive tool to articulate and assess expected impact, measuring across six dimensions and aligning with industry-consensus standards. We translate this framework into an 'Impact Dashboard' for each potential investment, enabling us to assess impact comprehensively and align with Sustainable Development Goals.
Our commitment to fostering inclusive businesses extends to championing gender equality and advancing diversity and inclusion. Over the next five years, we aim to empower women's economic development by targeting 30% of new investments to meet the criteria of the 2X Challenge. Additionally, we aspire to increase the representation of black African-owned and led businesses in our sub-Saharan Africa portfolio.
