We are a female-founded organisation. We are female-led, with 90% of leadership positions being held by women.
SDG Goal 6 & 7
We provide credit enhancement to support projects in water & sanitation and clean energy through our Renewable Energy Risk Mitigation Facility, which targets investors in renewable energy in Africa.
SDG Goal 8
We directly employ 10 people. We indirectly provide employment, ensure the sustainable growth of small and medium enterprises, and enable investments in infrastructure.
SDG Goal 9
Our credit risk mitigation tools enable investment in infrastructure and sustainable industrialisation. We support investment in manufacturing by allowing African manufacturers to access trade finance to facilitate the importation of industrial equipment and also provide them with trade credit insurance to enable them to access markets for their products.
SDG Goal 10
By enabling investment and trade and ensuring the sustainable growth of small and medium enterprises in Africa, we support the GDP growth of African countries, thereby reducing inequalities between them and more developed countries. We enable Foreign Direct Investment.
SDG Goal 13
Our risk acceptance criteria ensure that we only support projects and companies that are mindful of the impact of their activities on the environment and actively mitigate this.
SDG Goal 17
We support global trade through the provision of Trade Credit Insurance, enabling African traders to access the credit risk associated with global trade. We support AFTCA by providing Credit Risk Mitigation, thereby strengthening regional partnerships. We also support banks in providing Trade Finance to importers in Africa. We provide training to African enterprises on how to navigate Global trade.
