Oryx Impact is proud to announce its selection into the inaugural cohort of the  International Social Finance Accelerator (ISFA) — a highly selective programme backed by leading public and private institutions in Luxembourg to scale the next generation of high-impact investment managers. ISFA is the sister programme of the internationally recognised ICFA (International Climate Finance Accelerator), which has supported some of the most successful climate finance funds globally. 

Being chosen for ISFA represents a strong vote of confidence in Oryx Impact’s strategy, team, and ability to deliver institutional-grade impact and returns. The programme selects only a small group of best-in-class managers each year, following a rigorous screening process assessing investment rigor, market relevance, and systemic impact potential. 

Through ISFA, Oryx Impact will gain direct visibility among leading institutional investors, benefit from tailored expert support, and access a powerful network of global impact finance leaders. The programme will further strengthen our fundraising journey and reinforce our role as a credible capital architect for Africa’s just and green transition. 

We are equally honoured to join an exceptional cohort of peer fund managers — including Anza Capital, IMPAQTO Capital, and Rift Partners — and look forward to collaborating and learning together on how to unlock Africa’s potential and drive sustainable progress across emerging markets. 

This milestone underscores Oryx Impact’s position as an emerging leader in Africa’s impact investment ecosystem, mobilising private capital at scale to back locally led solutions with the potential for inclusive growth, systemic change, and market-rate financial returns. 

We welcome investors, partners, and ecosystem leaders to connect with us as we scale this mission and shape the future of impact finance in Africa.
