ABOUT GENESIS
In a world undergoing convulsive technological and political change, Genesis partners with key actors to deliver urgent, lasting impact in critical areas.
Genesis, an impact firm founded, incorporated, and headquartered in Africa, has worked in 46 African countries and more than 100 countries globally. Uniquely, Genesis is focused on the Young World – the arc of countries with young populations stretching across Africa, the Middle East, South Asi, and parts of Southeast Asia.
By 2030 four in five children will be born in the Young World, making this region central to the future. With growing markets and young, productive populations, Young World countries have the most positive potential trajectory in the world. It is here that investments of all kinds will have the highest social and economic returns.
Our job at Genesis is to help societies, governments, and businesses across the Young World succeed at three fundamental historic transitions:
- Reconfiguring economies: creating income for large, rapidly urbanising youth cohorts within a global economy undergoing profound changes
- A human transition: a fundamental rethink of how societies, governments, and markets can ensure the health and cognitive and social well-being of all those young people, including the most vulnerable
- A just climate transition: both to decarbonise and to manage the human and economic impacts of a global crisis they did not cause
To do this work, we are building a new type of impact firm
