HOME/WHO WE ARE

- WHO WE ARE -

SOCIAL CHANGE CAN BE ACCELERATED IN MANY WAYS NOT YET FULLY REALIZED. 

Sociocapital partners with public, private, and social sector organizations to improve lives, empower communities, and transform systems in Africa in ways that ensure more competitive and inclusive growth.

Our Mission is to foster inclusive growth, build resilient communities and transform systems through impactful business models and practices, purposeful investing, and intuitive development actions.

Our work is backed by research, data and local intelligence, equipping communities as the drivers of change and positioning our clients to catalyze the process.

Using the science of behavioral economics to influence positive change required to adapt, sustain & scale high-impact development solutions.

Deploy context-specific interventions to enable communities to become more socially resilient and self-reliant.

Channel impact-driven financing to where it is critically needed, especially usually amongst those excluded by traditional instruments.

SOLVING PRESSING SOCIAL PROBLEMS IN AFRICA REQUIRES INNOVATIVE, ENTREPRENEURIAL, AND SCALABLE STRATEGIES BACKED BY EVIDENCE AND SCIENCE


Development aid has been a key driver for social and economic growth – bridging the domestic development financing gap in Africa. Traditional social innovation and funding models are becoming obsolete, development aid is increasingly declining, and social problems are getting more complicated.

Social development efforts are often standalone, falling short of scaling up sustainably and delivering system-wide transformation. Many businesses are still narrow-minded in strategy, policies, and practice by thinking solely about financial return rather than more rounded and sustainable growth opportunities delivering blended social and economic value. 

More innovative, homegrown, and market-driven approaches to delivering and sustainably scaling up proven-to-work next-generation solutions are needed to catalyze transformative change. 

Addressing this barrier is core to our mission.

HOW WE WORK

Sociocapital’s approach to global development is such that focuses more on:

Equipping institutions and organizations to transform themselves into powerful engines for economic growth and prosperity through a blend of economic and social value creation models.
Developing stronger systems that support more vibrant and healthy individuals and communities that actively participate in lifting themselves out of poverty.
Creating more resilient and responsive societies supported through thriving ecosystems.
