Bridging the gap: The role of private equity in Africa

Dave Chalila
Head of Investments,
GuarantCo

As governments feel their budgets tightening, private equity has a lot to offer on African projects. This session considers:

  • What structures can private and public players collaborate on? How do we create scale in blended finance transactions?
  • What makes a project attractive to private investors? How can we overcome FX currency risk that can deter investors? 
  • How public institutions can collaborate with the private market to bring more deals to the table
  • How do we encourage market integration to create larger, more investable instruments  that appeal to global capital pools?
