INKOMOKO

Inkomoko is dedicated to empowering micro and small entrepreneurs across Africa, including refugees, to create jobs, improve livelihoods, and develop thriving communities. Since its inception in 2012, Inkomoko has supported over 60,000 entrepreneurs across East and Central Africa, providing a combination of training, consulting, access to finance, and market-level systems change. Notably, Inkomoko is the largest lender to refugee entrepreneurs in Africa, offering affordable financing to fuel business growth and economic development.

With a team of more than 650 employees across 40 offices in Chad, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, and South Sudan, Inkomoko is committed to expanding its impact. Through its 2030 strategic plan, the organisation aims to extend its services to three additional countries, reaching over 550,000 entrepreneurs and growing its $30 million loan fund to impact 7 million lives.

Inkomoko’s vision is an Africa with thriving communities where young people and refugees are engaged, communities have access to relevant innovations for self-determination, and African solutions are unleashed to solve African problems. The organisation’s core values guide its work:

• Purpose: Be solutions-oriented, produce high-quality work, and lead globally.
• Achievement: Push beyond previous limits and strive for excellence.
• Improvement: Stay humble, embrace continuous learning, and welcome open feedback.
• Bravery: Take risks, foster inclusivity, and create safe spaces for all.
• We Eat Goat: Celebrate success and support one another, embodying unity—turikumwe, tuko pamoja, abren nen, kula na sawa, on est ensemble.
