Established in late 2019 as a closed LP-GP fund, AlphaJiri provides debt, mezzanine, and equity financing to drive the resilience and growth of impact ventures, particularly in Sustainable Food and Renewable Energy, with a climate-smart, gender-lens approach across the value chain. The fund harbors a pan-African ambition with an initial emphasis on East Africa.
AlphaJiri’s strategy capitalizes on the opportunity to protect the environment and reduce reliance on fossil fuels by advancing renewable energy solutions in the region. The fund further supports sustainable agriculture, promoting climate-resilient practices and the local transformation of primary goods into consumer products, fostering a more efficient farm-to-fork value chain.

Additionally, AlphaJiri has enabled direct co-investments for its LPs, enhancing private-sector mobilization toward the Sustainable Development Goals.
The mission of the AlphaJiri Investment Fund is to contribute to the sustainable development of Sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, the objective is to invest in impact ventures that provide solutions to strengthen climate change-resistant agriculture and decouple the region’s economic growth from resource use.
