Global Partnerships is an impact-first investor dedicated to expanding opportunity for people living in poverty. For 25 years GP has invested in sustainable solutions that help impoverished people increase their incomes and improve their lives, with core investments in livelihoods, education, health, energy, housing, and sanitation. Since inceptionGP has deployed $356.5 million in impact investments to 135 partners, bringing meaningful impact to over 14.7 million lives in 21 countries.What is Impact-First Investing?Impact-first investing means investing in a way that seeks the highest possible social impact, while seeking to preserve capital with a modest financial return for investors.Impact-first investing is distinctly different from return-first investing, which seeks the highest possible financial return (often without consideration of social or environmental consequences), and from philanthropy, which seeks the highest social impact without any preservation of capital.We believe that impact-first investing has an essential role to play in advancing sustainable solutions to poverty for millions of people worldwide.What Does Impact Mean to Global Partnerships?All of our impact-first investing is aimed at empowering poor and marginalized people to earn a living, provide the basic necessities of life for their families, and improve their lives. We seek social impact on four dimensions:Broadening Opportunity – We have a holistic understanding of poverty, so we invest across all facets of poverty: livelihoods, education, energy, health, housing, sanitation, and water.Deepening Inclusion – We invest at the edge of the market, emphasizing approaches that include people marginalized by depth of poverty, gender, and/or geography, including women and the rural poor.Serving Millions – We believe that every person matters, and want to expand opportunity for as many people as possible. We therefore focus on sustainable approaches that can, over time, scale to serve millions of people living in poverty.Improving Lives – We only invest where evidence convinces us that people living in poverty value the opportunity being delivered and are empowered by it – economically or otherwise – to improve their lives.

- WAYVE — Wayve, also known as Wayve Mobility, Wayve Africa, Wayve Drive to Own, Wayve Work & Pay or Wayve DTO, is an Africa-focused, EV-first mobility fintech and infrastructure platform enabling vehicle access and ownership for commercial drivers across the continent. Founded in Ghana, Wayve is designed to address the structural barriers that preventride-hailing, delivery, and logistics drivers from owning reliable vehicles, while supporting the transition to cleaner, more efficient urban transport systems.Wayve operates a drive-to-own (DTO) and Work & Pay model that aligns vehicle repayments with driver earnings, allowing drivers to progress toward ownership through structured weekly payments rather than traditional loans. The platform uses alternative credit signals such as driving activity, platform performance, and fleet data to broaden access to mobility assets for drivers who are underserved by conventional financial institutions.Beyond financing, Wayve provides integrated fleet operations and digital infrastructure, including vehicle management, insurance coordination, maintenance programs, charging access, and performance monitoring. While the company prioritizes electric vehicles as the foundation of its long-term strategy, it also supports approved low-emission vehicles where necessary to ensure operational reliability during early-stage infrastructure development.Wayve’s ecosystem includes WAYVE, a driver-facing platform that supports onboarding, payments, ownership tracking, and fleet operations; WAYVE Go, a passenger and commuter engagement layer designed to enhance the in-ride experience and enable future loyalty and content features; and MUVEO, Wayve’s mobility media network. MUVEO enables in-motion advertising and brand engagement through connected vehicles, creating an additional revenue layer that improves unit economics while offering advertisers targeted, high-attention urban media inventory.Positioned as a long-term mobility partner, Wayve works with ride-hailing platforms like Bolt, Uber and Yango, telcos like MTN, financial institutions, and global partners seeking to operate or expand within African cities. The company’s mission is to transform driving from a short-term income activity into a pathway for ownership, stability, and economic mobility, while building scalable infrastructure that supports the future of urban transport across Africa.
