About the Company:

The Agricultural Business Initiative (aBi) was jointly founded by the Governments of Denmark & Uganda in 2010 as a social enterprise that channels development cooperation funding to agribusinesses & agricultural service providers.

In 2021, aBi Finance transitioned from a company limited by guarantee to a company limited by shares in a bid to commercialize its operations and attract new investments. As an impact investor, aBi Finance Ltd provides sustainable financing solutions in Uganda’s financial services sector. Our mission revolves around enabling access to agribusiness and green finance, achieved through three key strategies: offering competitively priced liquidity through lines of credit (LoC), mitigating agribusiness finance risks using the agribusiness guarantee (AG), and bolstering the capabilities of financial services providers through Financial Services Development (FSD) and Business Development Services (SOS).

This role directly supports strategic decision-making across the organization and ensures the consistent production of high-quality data which informs key investment decisions and demonstrates impact to a wide range of stakeholders. The manager leverages data analysis, predictive modelling, and effective communication strategies to identify key trends, mitigate emerging risks, and capitalize on significant opportunities, ultimately contributing to aBi Finance’s thought leadership in the realm of green finance and socially responsible investing. The manager will work closely with the Investment Impact Data Analyst to ensure efficient and effective use of resources and expertise.
