Our Impact
Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will have transformational impact in combating global inequalities, setting out ambitious goals to alleviate extreme poverty, protect the planet and foster relevant partnerships to achieve these goals.
AHL contributes to financing the SDG’s by advising on investments into companies with business models that align impact with growth. To date, through AHL Venture Partners investment advisory, AHL Charitable Foundations’ investments have produced strong financial returns while employing over 19,000 people and providing access to improved goods and services to more than 9,500,000 people
The OECD estimates that the Sustainable Development Goals financing gap has increased by at least 50%, totaling USD 3.7 trillion. In emerging markets across Africa, where needs are most acute and financing capacity the lowest, private and public sector actors will need to work together to address financing needs. Closing the SDG financing gap requires an approach that promotes investment in the long-term while building resilience across the SDGs. We advise on investments in innovative, scalable businesses in Financial Inclusion, Sustainable Food & Agriculture and Climate Smart solutions to contribute to the development of the SDGs.
