ABOUT US
Vakana is a climate project finance and implementation vehicle that brings together and collaborates with major players working towards achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Our mode of operation is an amalgamation created from the observations and hands-on expertise gained by the company officers, who have over a century of combined work experience with and for government and development agencies as well as private sector companies. This experience is what sets Vakana apart — we are able to understand, translate and work seamlessly between the three major entity types in order to achieve more, faster.
Vakana by design is a small ship with innovation and versatility embedded in its core, paving the way for increased project success rates. Using cutting edge data and technology from the World Data Lab among other innovative partners, Vakana tracks sustainable development projects in real-time starting from appraisal and implementation through to results.
We pride ourselves in our passion for sustainable development and believe deeply in taking proactive measures to make a positive impact on the global environment, economy and society.

Our Mission
To bring the dynamism and agility of a start-up organization to the world of development to promote faster and more impactful benefits to the most vulnerable populations through sustainable and resilient financing mechanisms, as well as calibrated technical assistance and accurate impact assessment.
