Our Governance Structure

 

IIZ is designed to be a collaborative, stakeholder-driven platform that reflects the diversity and expertise of Zimbabwe’s impact investment ecosystem.

Taskforce

The Taskforce is a group of leaders from Zimbabwe’s impact investing ecosystem who have voluntarily assumed responsibility for establishing Impact Investing Zimbabwe and engaging stakeholders locally, regionally, and globally.

The Taskforce is responsible for driving the formation of IIZ, building strategic partnerships, engaging market participants, and creating a foundation for a sustainable national impact investing platform.

The Taskforce operates with the support and endorsement of GSG Impact (formerly the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment), a global network operating in more than 50 countries and working to transform financial systems so that impact is considered alongside risk and return in all economic decisions. GSG Impact promotes the development of impact economies where capital flows support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and global climate objectives.
