A framework on paper

Kuramo Foundation for Sustainable Development runs gender-lens investing through three platforms — the Moremi Accelerator Program, a Warehousing Facility, and the Moremi Fund — training early-stage female fund managers.

The team had built an internal impact framework and wanted it operational from the day the initiative launched, not retrofitted later.

Framework into a working dashboard

Sopact operationalised the framework with a data strategy, collection, and analytics: manual data was brought into the Impact Cloud and indicators mapped to a dashboard.

The dashboard tracks access to funding, gender equality, and entrepreneurial growth across the platforms.
