As global sustainability challenges intensify, ANDE’s new investment guides provide a roadmap for investors to drive both environmental impact and economic returns in Kenya and India.
The Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE), is proud to announce the release of comprehensive investment guides on waste management, delivered in partnership with Climake and KOIS Advisory with grant support by the IKEA Foundation through the Access to Green Finance Project. These reports provide actionable insights for stakeholders—investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and corporates—aiming to contribute to Kenya and India’s waste and circularity transformation. The path forward is clear: innovation, collaboration, and strategic investments can drive the change needed for a sustainable future.
“Through these guides, we aim to unlock the immense potential of Kenya and India’s waste and circularity sectors, empowering investors and entrepreneurs to drive transformative change,” said Abigayle Davidson, ANDE’s Director of Research and Impact.
Key Highlights:
- Kenya guides’ focus areas include plastic waste, organic waste, wastewater, and integrated waste management. The guides identify pathways for leveraging innovative financing to scale sustainable solutions.
- India guides cover plastic circularity, e-waste and lithium-ion battery recycling, agricultural biomass waste, and municipal solid waste management. The reports outline how tailored financial strategies can drive growth in these sectors.
