Impact Investors Foundation chief executive Etemore Glover would leave after seven years to lead the Africa Impact Investing Group (AIIG), a five-country network with a mandate spanning capital mobilization, policy and research.
IIF said Glover joined the foundation in 2019. In its announcement, it said her tenure involved more than 3,000 stakeholders and support for over 130 enterprises; IIF also reported facilitating $1.7 million to enterprises. Impact Investing Ghana separately identified Glover as AIIG’s CEO in materials promoting an Oct. 8, 2026, webinar.
AIIG says it was established in May 2022 and launched at the Africa Impact Summit in Cape Town in 2023. It links GSG Impact national partners in Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria and Zambia, alongside affiliated African task forces. The group lists capital mobilization, policy action, research and knowledge-sharing among its priorities. It describes impact investing as investment intended to produce social or environmental benefits while also generating financial returns.
BusinessDay reported Oct. 22, citing an AIIG statement, that Glover is the group’s pioneer CEO. The outlet said the appointment gives AIIG its first dedicated chief executive role after a period of collaborative operation. BusinessDay also reported that AIIG had held four Africa Impact Summits since its July 2023 Cape Town launch, drawing more than 1,400 delegates. It said four deal rooms involved 49 impact funds and connected investors with 589 African enterprises. The outlet reported that Glover’s priorities include widening investor participation, improving the pipeline of investment-ready businesses, promoting impact-measurement standards, mobilizing capital and influencing policy.
Separately, Impact Investing Ghana’s Aug. 28 request for proposals sought a consultant for a market-sizing study across Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Zambia, Egypt and Morocco. The request set a Sept. 11, 2026, proposal deadline and called for a research phase of up to 12 months. It said the study was intended to develop comparable information on investment flows, market size, sector trends and gaps for businesses, investors and policymakers.
