KIPROD, as leading center for Development Finance and Risk Management, on one hand, helps Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and International Financial institutions (IFIs) in the deployment of development and impact finance. On the other hand, the center supports early and growth-stage businesses in the agribusiness and financial services sectors through linkages with development finance and international finance institutions to access low cost low risk finance.
Our aim is to help reduce poverty, by promoting resilient communities and creating jobs through private sector investment. Our knowledge and experience in the financial landscape of East Africa helps us provide an opportunity for these institutions to invest in the region. By enabling access to credit to those at the bottom, we achieve our goal of improving the lives of rural communities and enhance financial inclusion especially for women and the youth.
The center also helps organisations build resilient risk management frameworks, and sets professional standards, which define the knowledge, skills and behaviours that today’s risk professionals need to meet the demands of an increasingly complex and challenging business environment in East Africa. KIPROD engages in all industries and across the public, private and non-profit sectors.
