The Africa Green Technologies Facility (AGTF) is a unique multi-pronged program to strengthen domestic markets for green technologies in the East-African region. Rather than being a traditional VC fund, this facility takes the approach of a “match- making” business. It profiles feasible projects where investments can be made, matching them to funders via an alternative/blended financing scheme, which provides cover across the different investment needs of funders and local enterprises alike. The facility promotes increased cooperation among green business promoters by taking a bespoke approach to defining green technology needs, learning and facilitating deal flow using finance and project consulting for commercial uptake by investors.
