Global Themes, Local Impact

  • West Africa is undergoing industrialization and it is imperative to limit greenhouse gas emissions during this process. However, a large portion of the West African population, estimated to be between 60% to 90%, lacks access to stable energy. To achieve progress, closing the energy gap is crucial. We partner with companies, ventures and initiatives that increase energy availability and affordability, and diversify the region's energy supply with a focus on renewable sources

  • As Africa's population continues to grow and urbanize, the Mano River countries face a rising demand for resilient and affordable housing. The current housing deficit in the region is estimated to be at 3.5 million. We partner with SMEs, ventures, and initiatives focused on creating sustainable housing solutions and making home financing accessible for all

  • Value chain disruptions and supply scarcity have heightened the need for new models of climate-resilient agriculture to support farmers. With an estimated 35% of African households living below USD 1.90 per day, agriculture has the potential to drive economic growth, improve food security, and reduce poverty. We partner with SMEs, ventures, and initiatives committed to helping farmers adopt sustainable agricultural practices and improve their livelihoods.
