"The shift in the development narrative from aid to investment was championed by African leaders, and it is now the time to do the work that will ensure that announced and committed investment funds are actually mobilised for African projects." One of our recent insights, published by the Africa Policy Research Institute, tackles the significant challenges African leaders face in transitioning from a dependence on aid to securing sustainable investment. This shift is crucial for the continent's future, yet it requires concerted effort, commitment, and collaboration to ensure that pledges turn into real, impactful projects.

With just 17% of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on track, Africa is bearing the brunt of the shortfall, largely due to a lack of adequate funding. But here's the hard truth: Africa cannot continue to rely solely on the West for its development needs. It's time for African nations to rethink their approach. We need to: Mobilize internal resources. Foster regional cooperation. Invest in homegrown solutions. The power to solve our challenges lies within us. We must champion our own innovation, entrepreneurship, and policies to make progress sustainable. Africa’s future isn’t dependent on foreign aid—it's dependent on African resilience and leadership. Let's lead the way toward a sustainable, self-sufficient continent! 🌍 #SDGs #AfricaRising #SustainableDevelopment #SelfReliance #Innovation #MindHaven #Leadership #FundingAfrica

🌍 Rethinking Africa’s Rating Models for a Just Climate Transition 🌱 As we look towards a sustainable future, we must confront a critical reality: African economies often carry debt burdens nearly equivalent to the level of green finance they desperately need to secure for climate adaptation and mitigation. Global rating models, which influence creditworthiness, impact the ability of African nations to access affordable climate finance. Unfortunately, these models often don’t account for the nuances and challenges of African economies, leading to ratings that don’t fully capture the potential and resilience of these nations. Consequently, they find themselves caught in a cycle—locked out of the very funding that could propel their green transitions. We need to reform these rating frameworks, reconsidering the parameters that shape them to ensure they reflect Africa’s economic realities and growth potential in a climate-conscious world. This means embracing more inclusive and forward-looking assessment methods, ones that recognize the continent’s unique contributions and vulnerabilities in the face of climate change. African nations shouldn’t be penalized for structural challenges, but instead supported in unlocking their full potential for green growth. By adjusting these models, we can bridge the financing gap, enabling the flow of capital that empowers African economies to lead the way in the global green transition. 🌱 #ClimateFinance #AfricaRising #GreenTransition #DebtRelief #SustainableDevelopment
"We need to reform how African nations are rated and reconsider the parameters that shape these models”- states Chipokota Mwanawasa -Policy Advisor to the President and Deputy Head of the Presidential Delivery Unit Government of Zambia, during the Nordic African Business Summit 24 for Norwegian-African Business Association (NABA) When it comes to doing business or investing in Africa, perceptions and risk often drive up the cost of capital. But are these perceptions accurate? #Africa is diverse and complex, therefore blanket ratings simply don’t reflect the unique opportunities within each country. Investors should not just rely on distant data or one-size-fits-all metrics. The most insightful approach is to spend time on the ground, talk to local stakeholders, and make informed, firsthand assessments. For those ready to look beyond the surface, Africa holds immense untapped potential. Let’s build a new narrative, driven by direct engagement, deeper understanding, and sustainable growth.

Africa is redefining how it funds its growth, with creative solutions emerging to address pressing development needs. Tomi Abe reports that the continent is leveraging innovative public-private partnerships, diaspora investments, and social impact funds to close its significant infrastructure gap, estimated between $68 billion and $108 billion annually. Despite challenges, such as political instability and limited data, countries like Rwanda and Morocco are drawing global interest with smart policies and successful projects. With impact investments rising by 14.2% annually, Africa’s potential for growth is clear. How can we contribute to unlocking Africa’s economic opportunities and ensure these efforts reach more communities?

The call is getting louder and louder and is now, in a sense, coming from inside the house, The need for better rating methodologies for African countries is becoming increasingly pertinent , especially as credit ratings play a crucial role in determining a country's ability to access international finance at a time when infrastructure finance is at the fore for fostering development across the continent. First off, there’s the issue of bias and misaligned perceptions. Many rating agencies apply a standardized approach that doesn’t fully capture the distinct challenges and opportunities across Africa. This often results in an overly pessimistic view of risk, making it harder for countries to secure affordable financing, even when they’re making serious strides in governance and reforms. Another critical point is the lack of a nuanced understanding. Africa’s diversity is extraordinary—economic structures, political landscapes, and growth potential vary significantly. Yet, traditional methodologies often miss key factors, like the size and impact of the informal economy, which plays a massive role in many African countries. Afterall, Africa (and I cannot emphasis this enough) IS NOT A COUNTRY. Then, there’s the data gap. Reliable and up-to-date data isn’t always readily available, so ratings can end up relying on incomplete information. Imagine how much more accurate these assessments could be if they incorporated insights from local sources (think local FIs, think tanks, & govt sources) and regional institutions like AfDB, ESA-TDB and AFREXIM etc. (you get the gist). Lastly, we need to consider the impact of external shocks and structural vulnerabilities. Whether it’s commodity price swings or climate risks, current models often underplay how these factors affect African economies. Plus, they don’t always reward nations for building resilience or diversifying their economies. Addressing these gaps isn't just about fairness; it's about creating opportunities. With more balanced and accurate ratings, African countries could lower borrowing costs and attract more investment, fueling growth and development across the continent. It’s time for a fresh perspective on credit risk that truly reflects Africa’s potential. Or perhaps more importantly, for capital sourced within the continent, we should champion our own credit rating agencies. It's likely time to look within and not outside for a solution.
