Fonds

AfricaGrow Fund

The AfricaGrow Fund, launched in 2019, provides EUR 200 million in financing for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and start-ups in Africa. Investments are made through private equity and venture capital funds. The regional focus is on partner countries of the Compact with Africa (CwA) initiative.

Compact with Africa was launched in 2017 under Germany’s G20 Presidency. Participating countries include Egypt, Ethiopia, Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, Togo, and Tunisia.

The fund-of-funds is complemented by a Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) with a volume of EUR 15 million. The objective of the fund was to invest in 14 to 18 funds, with up to 10% allocated to co-investments.

The AfricaGrow Fund is now fully invested, with commitments made to 16 funds and successful partnerships established with 15 general partners.

The AfricaGrow Fund is the result of a public-private partnership between KfW Development Bank, acting on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Allianz, and DEG – Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH. The fund is managed by Allianz Global Investors GmbH.

DEG Impact’s Role

DEG Impact serves as the exclusive advisor to the AfricaGrow Fund and its associated Technical Assistance Facility (TAF).

The TAF was established as a complementary instrument to the AfricaGrow Fund with the objective of further strengthening both the performance of the portfolio investments through business support services and the African private equity and venture capital ecosystem through ecosystem-building activities.

Co-Investments

EB-EREFEM & EB-SME

The EB Renewable Energy Fund Emerging Markets (EB-EREFEM) and the EB SME Finance Fund Emerging Markets (EB-SME) are two co-financing vehicles established in cooperation with EB – Sustainable Investment Management GmbH (EB-SIM), the asset management subsidiary of Evangelische Bank. EB-SIM is responsible for investment advisory, asset management of the underlying projects, as well as product management and fundraising, while DEG is responsible for project sourcing and monitoring. DEG Impact coordinates the collaboration between the partners and serves as the central point of contact and interface between EB-SIM and DEG.

Both vehicles participate alongside DEG in financing transactions through senior loans (secured and unsecured) as well as subordinated loans. Typical investment volumes range from EUR 5 million to EUR 10 million. The EB-EREFEM focuses on renewable energy projects, while the EB-SME supports financing for banks and financial institutions with a strong emphasis on lending to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The objective of both funds is to make a sustainable contribution to economic development in emerging and developing markets by advancing the energy transition or respectively improving access to financing for businesses and local communities.
