Africa Conservation & Communities Tourism Fund (ACCT Fund)

The Africa Conservation & Communities Tourism Fund (ACCT Fund) ThirdWay seeks to preserve livelihoods, protect conservation areas and support biodiversity and climate resilience by assisting conservation tourism operators in sub-Saharan Africa. The ACCT Fund ensures that conservation, climate and community impacts are prioritised and achieved as we partner with operators, who act as the stewards of the areas in which they operate, navigate through, and build back better from the COVID-19 crisis.

The ThirdWay Africa Rural Development Corporation (RDC)

The RDC is a sustainable agricultural platform which is focused on catalyzing tangible rural development outcomes in its regions of operation, ‘Indian Ocean Africa’.

The RDC above all else believes that inclusive and sustainable businesses are key to unlocking Africa’s vast potential. Through years of experience developing businesses in Africa, a belief has been built within the team that investments need to be holistic, in balance with the entire ecosystem, and transformative for the rural communities in which they operate. This is complemented by the team’s views that the agricultural sector across sub-Saharan Africa will be an important contributor to economic growth and global food production and as such, will subsequently improve the livelihoods of these rural populations.

To achieve these objectives, the RDC invests into commercial farming businesses in Indian Ocean Africa, scaling them to become Nucleus Farming Operations.
