Small Foundation’s 2023 Impact Report

We are excited to share our 2023 Impact Report.

This year we enlisted several of our partners to help us reflect on how the rural MSME investment landscape has changed across sub-Saharan Africa. Through short videos, we learn their perspectives on trends, gaps, and opportunities across the ecosystem. Together we have catalysed new capital to this vital sector, and together we will continue to support sustainable and scalable growth to uplift rural economies.

Since 2007, Small Foundation has collaborated with our partners towards achieving our vision of a thriving Africa free from extreme poverty. This report offers a glimpse into their outcomes and achievements in 2023, and we invite you to venture to their websites to learn more about their impactful work.

We hope the report gives insight into how our partners are delivering impact across a changing system, as together we continuously learn and adapt. We also hope it gives insight into the overall scope and complementarity of our work supporting intermediaries, research, and ecosystem-building initiatives.

Thank you to our partners for your work and thank you to our 2023 Impact Report viewers. We welcome any feedback.
