Funder

The Fund's objective is to support the commercialization of the Microfinance industry, by bridging the transition from a sector traditionally funded by donors to a scenario where the leading MFIs are raising most of their funds from commercial sources, be that voluntary savings, wholesale deposits, inter-bank liquidity or private investment capital.

AfriCap can invest across Africa, by integrating a number of elements in each investment package, similar to the venture capital model. In addition to its capital invested, in the form of equity and quasi-equity instruments, the fund provides active governance, management advice and technical assistance, both directly by the Fund Manager and through the extensive network of expertise available to AfriCap. The Technical Services Facility (TSF) is a grant facility managed by the Fund Manager and financed by CIDA, DFID, FMO and USAID.
