As an international banking group, the iibGroup is driving sustainable growth in regions ranging from Europe to Africa and the Middle East.
We believe that true, lasting development is powered by people, and that investing in human capital is the most effective catalyst for change. We want to equip a new generation with the tools to build a more prosperous and resilient future for their communities and to strengthen the ties between Africa and the world.

We are the proud sponsor of two scholarships for scholars from Cape Verde and Djibouti.
We’re looking for applicants who are ready to absorb the best of what a UK education has to offer and return home with the skills, network, and determination to build a more resilient and prosperous future.
In Cape Verde and Djibouti, we see not just markets, but vibrant communities on the cusp of transformative growth. These two nations, while distinct in their cultures and geographies, share a common trait: they are strategic hubs with immense potential. We believe that their greatest resource is not their geographic position, but their people. By sponsoring these scholarships, we are investing in the leaders who will harness their nation’s potential.

Our partnership with Chevening is a natural extension of our purpose: To help people achieve their ambitions.
We believe that the most impactful investment we can make is in the people who will lead this transformation. By supporting scholars from these countries, we are not just funding an education, we are empowering future leaders with the global perspective, knowledge, and network to solve local challenges and create lasting, positive change.
