About the Catalytic Capital Africa (2CAfrica) Challenge

Catalytic Capital Africa is a challenge to catalytic capital providers; foundations, international development financing, governments and family offices to invest in ways that build the local financing ecosystems and unlock appropriate, patient financing for African SMEs. We have an initial target of moving $3billion and will be tracking commitments and progress.

What is Catalytic Capital?

Catalytic Capital is capital that is willing to innovate and to accept disproportionate risk and/or concessionary returns to generate positive impact and unlock additional commercial third-party investments that otherwise would not be possible or likely.
