Africa Growth Fund

The catalytic Fund-of-Funds initiative will help close the financing and support gap on the impact investing space in Africa to enable dignified and fulling work opportunities for youth, particularly young women. It will achieve this by introducing additional capital for African entrepreneurs, particularly females, by strengthening and de-risking African investment vehicles committed to advancing gender equity in entrepreneurship.

The Mission

To close the financing and support gap in the impact investing space in Africa. This will be achieved by elevating and diversifying the reach of African-owned and African-led Investment Vehicles that fund growth-oriented small- and medium-sized enterprises in sub-Saharan Africa, with the objective of creating employment opportunities for youth, particularly young women.

The Vision

To create additional work opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa for young people, particularly for young women, and to significantly contribute to shaping the engagement of the African impact investing ecosystem.
