Beyond commitments: Locally led investment in fragile markets

Date:


What does it take to make locally led investment work in fragile and complex markets?

At Building Bridges 2026 in Geneva, PeaceNexus brought together investors and entrepreneurs to explore this question during our session, “Beyond Commitments: Delivering Impact in the Real World.”

We are pleased to share the session’s visual harvest, created by Iris Maertens. It captures the ideas and practical insights shared by our panellists, highlighting what it takes to translate investment commitments into impact on the ground.

The discussion featured:

  • Job Zongo, Néré Capital
  • Jon Bellish, Shuraako Capital
  • Dara Alami, Rift Valley Farms
  • Peter BenHur Nyeko, Mandulis Energy

Explore the visual harvest below for insights from the conversation.

Our thanks to the panellists for sharing their experience, to Iris Maertens for bringing the discussion to life on the page, and to the Building Bridges organisers for providing a space for this exchange.
