Livelihood Impact Fund

The Livelihood Impact Fund (LIF) improves the lives of the global poor by empowering individuals and families with the skills, resources, and opportunities they need for self-sufficiency. It backs scalable, high-impact programs that deliver at least five times returns in future earnings for every dollar spent, offering multi-year, trust-based funding and prioritizing measurable outcomes such as income growth and lives transformed.

BFA Global has partnered with LIF to design programs that create meaningful, scalable, and sustainable improvements in livelihoods across Sub-Saharan Africa. By focusing on the growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), we aim to unlock new engines of job creation and economic resilience through supporting enterprise growth, with a goal of increasing access to quality employment by 1% of the labor force over five years, equivalent to about 200,000 new jobs.
