About the Social Investment Fund

A pro-poor institution, built to last — and still delivering, almost three decades on.

Incorporated in 1998 under Ghana’s Companies Code, SIF was formed by the Government of Ghana together with the African Development Bank and the United Nations Development Programme — a fast, dependable channel for resourcing the country’s most underserved communities.

SIF’s mission is to mobilise internal and external resources, provide consultancy services, and improve access to economic and social infrastructure — for sustainable poverty reduction, built on the principles of a green economy.
