About the Convening
The convening brings together impact-oriented investors deploying capital in West Africa to share practical investment approaches from their deployment experience that have helped unlock private capital into qualifying opportunities. It will highlight catalytic instruments, approaches, and interventions that are successfully helping to unlock private capital at scale, including, candidly, lessons from failure.
The convening will deepen and expand the practice of catalytic capital through a practical lens, not merely expanding thought, but surfacing the practical tools and instruments that are successfully unlocking more private capital to maximise economic and impact opportunities across West Africa.
