Conclusion

Sustainability - Broaden and deepen the footprint in sustainability

The Board has committed to broadening and deepening the Fund's sustainability footprint by embedding ESG principles into strategy, operations, and investments. This commitment is reflected in initiatives such as environmental stewardship in land restoration and sustainable agribusiness; social inclusion through the Borderless Education programme reaching 300 rural schools; health access via affordable healthcare pilots for the informal sector; and entrepreneurship and job creation through the Hi-Innovator Programme, which has supported 438 startups and created 202,323 jobs.

Financial inclusion has also scaled through Smartlife, mobilising UGX 17.2 billion in voluntary savings from informal workers. Sustainability is thus not a slogan, but the foundation of how the Fund operates—creating value today while securing benefits for future generations.
