Création d’un programme de formation financière à l’échelle de l’Afrique

Proparco - Creation of an Africa-wide financial training program

Context and need

Financing needs are a key issue for private sector development in Africa, which is PROPARCO's main area of intervention worldwide. Private Equity, Venture Capital and Private Credit, which are intended as levers for private sector development, are still marginally used or poorly adapted by the continent. In addition to its financial offering, PROPARCO therefore wishes to strengthen the skills and knowledge-sharing necessary for Africa to take ownership of these financing methods.
