ShareShareShareShare

Impact Investing Ghana (IIGh) and its National Advisory Board has appointed Amma Sefa-Dedeh Lartey as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), taking over from the inaugural CEO, Hamdiya Ismaila.

The CEO of the Stanbic Investment Management Services and chair of the Ghana NAB and IIGh, Alex Asiedu, said, “I am personally delighted to welcome Amma as our new CEO. Her experience and understanding of the impact space are outstanding. Amma served on the taskforce that established IIGh and has been a passionate supporter of the organisation since our founding. She has contributed to the growth of Impact Investing regionally over the last eight years as Regional Director of Reach for Change, launching accelerators and other programs across Africa. She founded Social Enterprise Ghana, the umbrella association for the social enterprise sector in Ghana. Her contribution to the growth of impact investing has been remarkable and we are delighted that she has agreed to lead the movement in Ghana.”

“As we announce Amma’s appointment, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Hamdiya Ismaila, our interim CEO who continues to serve as a member of our Executive Committee for her achievements spearheading the organisation and great personal commitment to the impact movement.”

Accepting the appointment, Amma Lartey said, “I am delighted to be joining IIGh at a time when Impact Investing is needed in Ghana more than ever. As Ghana charts a path to economic transformation beyond aid there is a need for private sector solutions that address our pressing social and environmental issues at scale. IIGH as a driver of collaborative action is partnering with the government, the private sector and others to ensure this happens. We want to see an exponential increase in the amount of money from local and international investors going into impact ventures and projects in Ghana.”

“The great work done by Hamdiya and her team has positioned us to be able to deliver”. Amma joins after eight years as Africa Regional Director of Reach for Change, a Swedish Venture Philanthropist with programs across Africa,” she added.

Impact Investing Ghana is an independent national steering group promoting sustainable development and advancing the development of the impact investment ecosystem in Ghana.

It was established in 2019 and is Ghana’s representative to the Global Steering Group for Impact Investing, the successor to the Social Impact Investment Taskforce established by the G8.
