About Us
Domestic Capital Africa is an initiative dedicated to unlocking Africa’s own resources to power Africa’s future. We believe that the continent’s greatest opportunity lies in mobilizing domestic capital, particularly the long‑term patient funds held in pensions to drive inclusive growth, strengthen venture funds, and empower high‑growth SMEs.
Our work is championed by Impact Investing Ghana (IIGh), the national platform for impact investing, and delivered in collaboration with Savanna Impact Advisory, a leading advisory firm shaping innovative finance solutions. Together, we are pioneering strategies to channel pension assets now valued in the hundreds of billions of US dollars across Africa into productive investments that fuel entrepreneurship, create jobs, and build resilient economies.
Through initiatives like the Ci‑Gaba Fund of Funds, we are addressing the pain points of key stakeholders: unlocking institutional capital, de‑risking investments for pension funds, and creating pathways for SMEs to access growth financing. By aligning domestic savings with Africa’s development needs, we are proving that pensions are not just about securing retirements, they are about securing the continent’s future.
