Partnering For Transition: Working to advance investor frameworks to mobilize capital flows in Africa

Resource Description

This report outlines how investors can support Africa’s low-carbon transition by developing frameworks that mobilize private capital while addressing regional needs.

Why This Matters

Scaling private capital is essential to close Africa’s finance gap and align development with global climate goals.

Key Insights

  • Transition frameworks must go beyond carbon to include adaptation, nature, circular economy, and equity
  • Investment risks in Africa are often overstated; blended finance and guarantees can unlock capital
  • Existing frameworks provide foundations but lack regional integration
  • Calls for investor advocacy, credible commitments, collaboration, and de-risking tools
