The capital thesis

Use public capital to unlock
productive private scale.

Public finance prepares the platform, reduces early risk and protects shared outcomes. Institutional and private capital then build, operate and expand bankable assets around it.

CORE PRINCIPLEAfrican ownership does not mean Africa acts alone. It means Africa sets the terms.

Indicative funding mix

One programme.
Four capital pools.

The mix balances public purpose, patient African savings, commercial discipline and targeted international partnership.

Indicative programme-level mix. Individual projects will vary by risk, maturity and revenue model.

35%

African public capital

Member states, continental and regional institutions, development banks and dedicated public funds.

25%

African institutional capital

Pension funds, insurers, sovereign funds, banks and other long-horizon African savings pools.

25%

Private capital & PPPs

15%

International partners

Targeted concessional, climate, development and co-investment capital aligned to African priorities.
