We recently hosted a roundtable discussion in partnership with Invest Africa Ltd unpacking the challenges and opportunities faced by development finance institutions (DFIs) investing in African markets. Our partner, Titus Edjua, moderated the panel which featured Jide Olanrewaju, Partner, TPG, Maria Smith, Chief Impact Office and MD, BII, Cathy Oxby, Chief Commercial Officer, AfricaGreenCo, and Anthony Osijo, Group CFO, Bboxx The discussions considered the critical role DFIs play in Africa's development, often serving as indispensable bridges in jurisdictions where high-risk perception curtails private investment. Participants explored how DFIs can enhance their capabilities in African markets, including priority sectors to target, and means of maximising impact through mobilising more capital for the continent. Central to discussions was the future outlook for DFIs in Africa and identifying opportunities that will shape the trajectory of DFI activities on the continent in years to come.
