Old Mutual Group CEO Arthur Oginga has been appointed to the Governing Council of the Africa Natural Capital Alliance (ANCA).
He joins a group of African leaders working together to attract funding for projects that protect nature and support sustainable development across the continent. The newly formed Council brings together experts in finance, policy, and conservation to help drive investment in Africa's natural resources such as forests, wetlands, 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, 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 honoured 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," said Oginga.
