Intellidex’s Managing Director in Global Lead Strategy and Primary Research, Dr Graunt Kruger joined Michael Avery on Fine Music Radio‘s Classic Business. He shed light on the importance of impact investing in Africa and the inspiration that led Intellidex to launch the inaugural Africa Impact Investment Awards.
“We have two objectives in mind, we always want to make sure that market participants understand who else is in the market and what great and amazing actually looks like. So, we really want folks to know each other and we want people to get to know what great projects there are and because fundamentally inside impact investments you also have elements of having very robust measurement and monitoring built into these projects. This gives us the ability to actually have an evidence base for projects that work, it’s built into the entire mechanism of impact investments. So, it really is our hope that by shining focused light on these achievements, these very specific elements of contribution, many more people will become excited about the possibilities of impact investments”, says Dr Kruger.
