Welcome to IAP

Innovations Against Poverty challenges the private sector to develop products, services and business models that can contribute to the fight against poverty, and climate protection.

Through our financial and non-financial services, we support innovative Inclusive Business models that deliver commercial benefits for the private sector and developmental benefits for the low-income population, while paying specific attention to gender equality and environmental sustainability.

STRATEGIC INVESTMENT PARTNERS

Part of the Innovations Against Poverty (IAP) non-financial support is to provide the selected inclusive businesses (IBs) with the opportunity to connect with impact investors to successfully secure investments for their prospective growth and scale-up. IAP’s Strategic Investment Partners (SIPs) network- a network of 11 leading potential investors- will collaborate with the programme over the coming years to provide guidance and mentoring to assist the IBs to become investment ready, create opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing and co-investment synergies.
