Inkomoko

Inkomoko supports entrepreneurs to grow their businesses in order to improve livelihoods, create jobs, and help communities thrive.

Founded in 2012, Inkomoko has worked with more than 60,000 entrepreneurs across East and Central Africa, including thousands of refugee entrepreneurs. Inkomoko provides a combination of training, consulting, access to finance, and market-level systems change. We are the largest lender to refugee entrepreneurs in Africa.

Inkomoko has 650+ staff in 40 offices across Chad, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, and South Sudan. Through Inkomoko’s 2030 strategic plan, we are adding 3 additional countries to serve more than 550,000 entrepreneurs and growing our $30M loan fund to impact 7M lives.

Across Africa, more than 44 million forcibly displaced people remain on the margins of financial systems. These are individuals with skills, ambition, and a combined spending power of $82 billion, yet their potential goes untapped. Credit remains out of reach, policies overlook their contributions, and economic systems rarely adapt to their realities.

We support entrepreneurs by addressing the most entrenched barriers to growth: limited access to capital, exclusion from markets and a lack of representation in policies and institutions. By shifting these systems, we unlock new opportunities for growth, stability, and shared prosperity.
