Asime Partners focuses on key climate sectors to support mitigation and adaptation efforts in Africa. Our priorty areas include renewable energy, energy efficiency, and low-emission transport to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We also support investment and advisory in climate-resilient agriculture, forestry, and land use to enhance food security and ecosystem sustainability. Additionally, we advise on the nexus of water and energy, notably water resource management, urban resilience, and infrastructure to combat climate impacts. Vulnerable communities and ecosystems remain central to our sectoral investments, ensuring inclusive climate action.
We include gender lens investing (GLI) in our processes, aiming at building a 50/50 portfolio of investments in women and girls. GLI is investing with the understanding that gender is material to financial, business, and social outcomes. GLI aims to secure social well-being and economic opportunities for women, and can involve investing in women-owned or led enterprises, as well as products or services that improve the lives of women and girls.
Investing in Disability Inclusion is an opportunity for employers and investors. Indeed, companies that prioritise disability inclusion perform better and are considered better investments. We target 30% inclusion of people with disability in our organisation and in the investees we invest in over our investment period. We want to unlock opportunity in the workplace for people with disabilities through proactive policies that eliminate barriers and promote inclusion.
