Opportunity for private sector investments to combine attractive risk adjusted returns with a positive social impact

African infrastructure lags other emerging markets. Current funding gap presents opportunity for private sector investments.

  • African Development Bank (AfDB) estimates a funding gap of US$ 68-109 Bn per year

  • Government & public funding insufficient to close funding gap

Strategy

We develop and operate sustainable and repeatable large-scale capital projects across Africa, in sectors which serve as key pillars to the economic prosperity of the continent

Priorities

  • Telecommunication Infrastructure
  • Mining Development
  • Renewable Energy
  • Transportation Infrastructure

Outcomes

  • Deliver long-term economic opportunity to the communities and economies in which we operate.

  • Deliver attractive, risk-adjusted returns to investors and shareholders.

We develop projects from ground up to mitigate the underlying project risk and to ensure project success

We strive to build industry-leading companies that grow into regional champions, supported by fundamental growth drivers in the local economy.

We have been building a portfolio of assets across sectors, following the same approach for each individual project:

  • Identify and evaluate potential projects
  • Develop detailed business case and business model
  • Mature projects to reach "investment stage"
  • Propose financial structure of funding and manage fundraising process
  • Manage project design and construction
  • Select and on-board top talent from the region with international expertise to manage project ramp up and operations
  • Ensure continued project success through board oversight and monitoring
