Specialist, Green Finance, Capital Markets

We work to reduce poverty by strengthening Africa’s financial markets.
Based in Nairobi, FSD Africa was established in 2012 and is funded by FCDO. It has a team of just over 50 people, of whom 10 work in the investment arm, FSD Africa (Investments)(FSDAi). 
FSD Africa is a specialist development agency set up to support breakthrough ideas to build and strengthen financial markets across sub-Saharan Africa. It works to reduce poverty by strengthening Africa’s financial markets. It does this by tackling the most intractable financial market challenges in Africa – including the lack of long-term finance, especially in local currency, dysfunctional credit markets and inadequate risk management capacity. 
FSD Africa’s team of financial sector experts works alongside governments, business leaders, regulators, and policymakers to design and build ambitious programmes that make financial markets work better for everyone. Depending on the project, it can provide grants, investment capital, technical assistance, and market insights (e.g., through research) to ensure it achieves its objectives.
We focus our work where the need is greatest, and where we believe the potential for impact is the most significant. We have a specific mandate to invest in breakthrough, innovative ideas that we believe can have a transformative impact.
