Miarakap is a private malagasy organization, created in 2018, specialist of blended finance for entrepreneurs in Madagascar, whose mission is to contribute to the economic, social development and environmental conservation of Madagascar. We finance, support and promote a new generation of ambitious and responsible impact entrepreneurs willing to be actors of positive change with three complementary business lines: Equity investment, Program Management and Advisory.
Kinomé is a French consulting firm, specializes in biodiversity conservation, climate adaptation, and sustainable development. With over 19 years of experience, Kinomé works across Africa and Latin America, supporting projects that enhance ecosystems and empower local communities. The company provides expertise in designing and implementing nature-based solutions, focusing on reforestation, agroforestry, and social impact projects. Through its work, Kinomé integrates business performance with measurable environmental and social benefits.
Together, Miarakap and Kinomé are forming a new joint entity, which will act as the Investment Advisor for the Mitsiry Biodiversity and Climate Fund (MBCF). The fund targets a $50 million closed-end blended fund addressing the critical link between extreme poverty and environmental degradation in Madagascar and other least-developed countries in the Southern and Eastern Africa. MBCF’s mission is to support profitable and impact-driven SMEs that promote climate resilience, gender equality, and sustainable livelihoods in some of the world’s most vulnerable ecosystems. MBCF targets three primary investment themes:
- Sustainable Use of Natural Resources: Supporting sectors like essential oil production, sisal cultivation, cocoa, vanilla
- Nature-Based Solutions: Promoting innovative models in seaweed farming, insect farming, ecotourism, and moringa production.
- Climate Mitigation: Financing renewable energy projects, land restoration, and reforestation.
It will combine Miarakap’s deep knowledge of the local business ecosystem with Kinomé’s technical expertise in conservation, ensuring that the fund delivers both financial returns and environmental impact.
MBCF is seeking proposals from potential impact advisors to collaborate with its impact team in enhancing the development of its existing Impact Measurement & Management (“IMM”) framework, ensuring alignment with DFIs standards, and to mentor the team during this process, as well as in its subsequent use.
Interested service providers shall review the below document and submit their proposal in writing to Koloina Ramaromandray (k.ramaromandray@miarakap.com) and Léa Méléard (l.meleard@miarakap.com), copying programme@icfa.lu by 18:00 CET on 09/02/2025.
