Where members do the work.

Thematic working groups that shape policy, standards and capital flows across the ecosystem.

GIIS — Gender & Inclusive Impact

The community of the Gender Impact Investment Summit (GIIS). We convene investors, enterprises and advocates to close Nigeria's gender financing gap — advancing gender-lens investing, GESI practice and inclusive capital.

NIIRIC — Research, Data & Measurement

The digital home of the Nigerian Impact Investing Research and Industry Collaborative. We drive research and data generation, capacity building, policy advocacy and investor network development for Nigeria's impact economy.

Policy, Advocacy & ACII Community

The year-round community of the Annual Convening on Impact Investing (ACII). We shape the policy agenda, coordinate advocacy, and build toward each Convening — including the launch of NIEC at ACII 2026.

Capital & Deal Matchmaking

Where capital meets pipeline. Home of IIF's Deal Matchmaking programme and the WIIF (Nigeria Wholesale Impact Investment Fund) community — connecting investors, fund managers and investment-ready enterprises through the Deal Room.

ESO Collaborative

The workspace of the Nigeria ESO Collaborative — enterprise support organizations pooling expertise to build investment-ready MSMEs, share tools, set standards and coordinate the ecosystem.

Climate & Green Finance

Mobilising green and climate-aligned capital for Nigeria — renewable energy, climate adaptation and green finance instruments across the impact economy.
