About Us
Vision
Inkomoko believes in the catalytic power of entrepreneurship, not just as a livelihood tool, but as a pathway to dignity and economic transformation for communities. We believe that African solutions will solve African problems.
Inkomoko reflects the communities it serves, bringing together colleagues whose own journeys through displacement and entrepreneurship have shaped a rare understanding of what it takes to build stability, opportunity, and a future in a new place.

Inkomoko Mission
Inkomoko’s mission is to accelerate economic inclusion by equipping entrepreneurs from forcibly displaced populations and marginalized communities with the tools to succeed; backing their ideas; building market access; and influencing systems to be more inclusive.
We leverage private sector approaches to address entrenched economic challenges, enabling entrepreneurs to create jobs and move out of poverty with dignity.
Our Theory of Change:
What We’re Building and Why
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.
Inkomoko works to change that. 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.
Why it Matters
A $5,000 loan can create two new jobs, stabilize a household, and ripple outward to feed a community.
A vegetable stand in a refugee camp can become a supermarket for both refugee and host communities, fostering trust, peace, and shared prosperity.
An ID card affirms dignity and belonging, unlocking credit and vital services that refugees are too often denied — a true gateway to opportunity.
