FASA (“Financing for Agri-SMEs in Africa”) has just made its first investment by committing $5 million to Catalyst Fund, a pan-African venture capital fund supporting entrepreneurs developing solutions to help communities adapt to the growing impacts of climate change, including droughts, extreme weather and food insecurity. This initial commitment helped attract additional public and private investors, allowing Catalyst Fund to reach $30 million in committed capital today.
Beyond building a portfolio of funds, FASA is committed to advancing sector knowledge through a dedicated learning strategy.
Today, FASA is publishing its first major research report: “The Landscape of Agri-SME Funds in Africa”. This comprehensive study provides an up-to-date panorama of 175 agri-SME funds across the continent, offering novel insights and sizing the immense opportunity for funders to drive impact.
