Accelerating inclusive transformation
in West Africa

Empowering Impact Investing

At AGI Africa we are a dedicated impact fund manager and advisory firm with a mission to drive inclusive growth and transformation in West Africa, home to nearly half a billion people. With a focus on frontier markets, we help innovative businesses access the capital they need to grow and thrive.

Our team of experienced advisors works closely with our clients, providing valuable insights and guidance to help them achieve their goals. From strategy development to implementation, we are dedicated to supporting businesses that are making a positive impact in their communities.

We understand the challenges of frontier market investing, but also see the tremendous potential for growth. We are at the forefront of this movement, working to bridge the gap and drive progress through investment and advisory services.

Our Markets

We invest in and provide advice to firms operating mainly in ECOWAS member nations. We focus on less explored regions and aim to collaborate with determined entrepreneurs that seek to elevate living standards. Our headquarters, located in Conakry, Guinea, provides us with invaluable, first-hand experience and understanding of the challenges in operating in frontier markets. As a result, we prioritize companies in the Mano River Union countries of Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, enabling us to bring about positive change in a historically underdeveloped and underfunded part of the world.

Global Themes, Local Impact

  • Industrialization & Energy Access

    West Africa is undergoing industrialization and it is imperative to limit greenhouse gas emissions during this process. However, a large portion of the West African population, estimated to be between 60% to 90%, lacks access to stable energy. To achieve progress, closing the energy gap is crucial. We partner with companies, ventures and initiatives that increase energy availability and affordability, and diversify the region's energy supply with a focus on renewable sources.

  • Africa's Doubling Population

    As Africa's population continues to grow and urbanize, the Mano River countries face a rising demand for resilient and affordable housing. The current housing deficit in the region is estimated to be at 3.5 million. We partner with SMEs, ventures, and initiatives focused on creating sustainable housing solutions and making home financing accessible for all.

  • West Africa's Agriculture Potential

    Value chain disruptions and supply scarcity have heightened the need for new models of climate-resilient agriculture to support farmers. With an estimated 35% of African households living below USD 1.90 per day, agriculture has the potential to drive economic growth, improve food security, and reduce poverty. We partner with SMEs, ventures, and initiatives committed to helping farmers adopt sustainable agricultural practices and improve their livelihoods.
