ScaleUp Africa Ecosystem Conversations: Blended Finance & Entrepreneurship Development w/ Lade Araba
Update: 2020-11-24
Description
Lade Araba talks to Amma Gyampo about how Public and Private sector funding can come together to build social impact businesses in Africa. The missing middle funding gap affects most SMEs in Africa where they are too big to access some sources of capital like micro-financing and too small to attract others interested in bigger 'ticket sizes' such as Private Equity investors.
Due to the lack of support and quality issues within the ecosystem, the role of Business Development Service providers (BDS) and intermediaries that can introduce investors to the right SMEs in Africa is critical.
