On the 19th of October, the WWF Nedbank Green Trust took part in the Ignite Next Africa Symposium, hosted by Indalo Inclusive South Africa NPC . The WWF Nedbank Green Trust’s Manager, Londiwe Dlamini, and Mpoi Ntaitsane, ESG Investment Analyst at WWF South Africa, presented WWF South Africa’s nature finance work.
After eight years of the Indalo Symposium, this year’s event set an ambitious brief. The call was to answer the big questions for Africa’s inclusive transition economy: Where is the funding? Where are the jobs? Where are the opportunities and partnerships? And who can help?
What stood out at this conference was the push to move participants and stakeholders from conversation to action. Rather than presenting what each organisation does, partners were asked what they are best placed to contribute, and how capital, enterprise and institutions can connect to turn opportunities into results.
That framing resonates with the WWF Nedbank Green Trust. Our mission, from 2026 to 2030, is to catalyse people centred, nature positive economies across priority landscapes. We do that by backing ideas early, when the risk is highest, and connecting what works to investors and partners who can take it further. No single funder can carry that journey alone, which is why spaces like this matter.
Thank you to Indalo Inclusive for convening the ecosystem, and to everyone who engaged with us.
