Africa First: Mobilizing Local Capital for Global Impact

Africa is no longer waiting for external funding – local capital is stepping up.

The continent faces massive financing gaps: $331B for MSMEs, $140B for infrastructure, and $1.3T to meet the SDGs, and we’re witnessing dynamic capital mobilization from local sources, to address these gaps.

Ghana now mandates 5% of pension assets go to domestic PE/VC funds and Nigeria is preparing a national fund-of-funds, both aiming to boost investments into local MSMEs. Across Africa, institutions are taking ownership of their financial future.

We partner with African pension funds and government vehicles to ensure capital delivers both strong returns and measurable development outcomes across the continent. This is Africa’s moment – to invest locally, scale globally, and deliver impact far beyond its borders.
