Purpose
Catalyst for economic and climate resilience.
Africa’s dedicated transaction intermediary, designed to accelerate the deployment of sustainable and climate finance across the continent by bridging persistent structural gaps that constrain bankable deal flow. Operating at the intersection of project origination, transaction structuring, capital mobilisation, capacity development, and ecosystem strengthening, ASFI addresses key market barriers, including fragmented pipelines, regulatory complexity, limited early-stage capital, and insufficient local structuring expertise. Through end-to-end transaction facilitation, pan-African reach anchored by strong local market depth, and active ecosystem orchestration, ASFI expands investable pipelines and crowds in diverse pools of capital across priority sectors.
Africa can unlock sustainable finance for growth by aligning policy, capital, and markets to dismantle structural and systemic barriers.
ASFI strengthens alignment, accelerates deal-making, and mobilises capital for Africa’s climate innovations and economic growth by convening regulators, asset owners, asset managers, banks, DFIs, project developers, corporates, and global partners.
Sustainable Asset Owners is a private collaborative platform where C-suite asset owners, capital allocators, and asset managers forge partnerships and access the end-to-end solutions needed to build climate-resilient portfolios beyond domestic concentration—balancing local development impact with international exposure that reduces home-market risk, manages rand-dollar volatility, and unlocks sustainable returns.
Many initiatives lack reliable data or have information locked in silos. This limits transparency, weakens decision-making, and slows the flow of capital.
Building cross-sector partnerships and engaging diverse stakeholders to tackle both financial and non-financial actions needed to mitigate climate risks.
Pooling and aggregating smaller developers, companies, and projects unlocks scalability—but it takes a strong network to spot promising deals early.
Businesses and finance professionals face an urgent need to reskill and upskill in climate risk, green finance, ESG, and sustainability.
Bringing projects, capital, or both? Speak to the team to determine strategic fit with our platform.
