Alongside our partners, we design and deliver programmes that span more than 28 countries across sub-Saharan Africa. As a regional development agency, we manage a combination of ambitious multi-country programmes and focused, local interventions.
Capital Markets

They help people with ideas become entrepreneurs and help small businesses grow into big companies.
Early-Stage Finance
Overview
Achieving Africa’s green transition is vital for sustainable development. To meet the continent’s 2030 climate goals, a significant increase in climate finance – nine times the current amount – is required. Our Early-Stage Finance (ESF) department is dedicated to catalysing essential innovation and growth across a diverse range of enterprises, addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time.
ESF believes that the key to Africa’s green transition lies in leveraging the potential of small and growing businesses (SGBs).
