Abstract
In this chapter, the author provides the background of impact investing—the facts, numbers and the players—in Africa, and looks at the key success factors that drive them. The author lists the hot spots for impact investing in Africa, singling out Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda and South Africa. He shows the different ways that foundations, pension funds and insurers, banks, sovereign wealth funds, multinationals, diaspora and retail investors are actively financing impact investments. The author looks at the different considerations that have defined the way the investors approach their investments, including financial returns, impact required, exit mechanisms and risk appetite of the investor.
