FISEA+: accelerating capital mobilization by impact investment funds in Africa

FISEA+ is an initiative initiated in 2021 that invests in high-impact funds that address 4 key strategic priorities: support for SMEs, the emergence of social and solidarity-based enterprises, the development of a sustainable private sector in fragile countries, as well as support for start-ups specializing in digital innovation.

In 2022, the European Union (EU) and the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) Group signed a €35 million guarantee agreement for FISEA+, the AFD Group facility implemented by Proparco as part of the Choose Africa initiative. This EU support is part of the European Union's Investing in Young Businesses in Africa (IYBA) initiative.

EU support for FISEA+ will make it less risky for potential investors to invest in high-impact funds in Africa. The technical support component of FISEA+, also made possible by the EU's financial support (5 million euros), will maximize the impact of these funds on the continent.
