Bertha Centre in East Africa

The Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship will be in Nairobi, Kenya from 11-15 November.

The Centre's Innovative Finance team will be hosting 'Impact Investing in Africa', a specialised short course, offered by the Bertha Centre and the University of Cape Town's Graduate School of Business. The course, which will be held in Kenya for the first time after several successful iterations in South Africa, is designed to equip wealth managers, consultants, funders and other financial intermediaries with expertise in this rapidly growing field.

During the course, the Bertha Centre’s Health Systems Innovation team will convene experts in Kenya in a panel discussion exploring impact in health investments. Hosted in collaboration with the Mastercard Foundation and partner universities, the event 'Investing in African Health Opportunities' closes with a networking gala dinner with participants of the Impact Investing in Africa course.

The Bertha Centre is excited to make the most of their presence in East Africa and welcome meetings during 11-15 November. If interested to connect with the Bertha Centre's finance, health, or marketing and communications representatives, please email diana.ocholla@uct.ac.za
