Old Mutual Group CEO Arthur Oginga has been appointed to serve in the Africa Natural Capital Alliance (ANCA) Governing Council, joining a coalition of African leaders working to mobilize capital for nature-positive investment and sustainable growth across the continent.
The inaugural Council brings together leaders from finance, policy, and conservation to catalyze investment in Africa’s natural capital (including wetlands, forests, and biodiversity). ANCA’s mission is to embed the value of nature into economic and financial decision-making, helping unlock Africa’s natural assets to drive sustainable, inclusive growth.
In his acceptance speech, Mr. Oginga said the appointment underscores Old Mutual’s commitment to sustainable development and continued investment in climate-resilient projects, strategic underwriting, and risk pricing.
“I am honored to join the ANCA Governing Council at such a pivotal time for Africa. By aligning capital flows with nature-positive outcomes, we can help restore ecosystems, strengthen climate resilience, and unlock sustainable livelihoods for millions across the continent. I look forward to working with my fellow Council members to translate our ambitions into measurable impact,” Mr. Oginga said.
The other Governing council members include Nedbank CEO Jason Quinn, Equity Bank Group CEO James Mwangi, CIFOR-ICRAF CEO Eliane Ubalijoro, CEO, Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Chairman Dr. David Obura, and African Wildlife Foundation CEO Kaddu Sebunya.
Their appointment signals ANCA’s ambition to catalyze real investment and innovation in nature-positive economies across the continent as it reaches a milestone of 130 members with collective assets of over GBP 1 trillion.
