FISEA
A FUND FOR AFRICAN BUSINESSES
FISEA, the Investment and Support Fund for Businesses in Africa, makes equity investments in businesses, banks, microfinance institutions and investment funds operating in Sub-Saharan Africa.
With an investment target of €250m, FISEA is one of the key components of France’s initiative to promote growth and jobs in Africa.
Owned by the AFD and advised by PROPARCO, FISEA targets vulnerable population groups and regions that are more unstable or emerging from crisis situations, as well as sectors traditionally bypassed by investors. Special attention is paid to the growth of small and medium-sized businesses.
