Bridging the Sustainable Financing Gap
The sustainable financing gap in Africa, estimated at USD 1.6 trillion until 2030, represents a colossal opportunity for investors. Our initiatives are projected to contribute to closing this gap by a significant 30%, potentially unlocking returns of up to USD 480 billion.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The foundation's projects are not just sustainable; they are also aligned with the UN's SDGs. By 2030, we anticipate a remarkable 70% alignment with these global goals creating investments with not only financial potential but also substantial positive social and environmental impacts.
Leveraging Natural Resources
Our initiatives are designed to unlock the potential of Africa's natural resources, projecting a 25% increase in the contribution of natural capital to Africa's GDP in these sectors, potentially offering investors an additional USD 400 billion in wealth generation.
Economic Resurgence
The projected real GDP growth rate of 3.7% in 2023 is just the beginning. Through sustainability-focused investments, we anticipate a steady 2% annual increase in this growth rate, potentially leading to a cumulative GDP increase of USD 1.2 trillion by 2030, offering investors opportunities for remarkable financial returns.
Climate Resilience in Action
The foundation's focus on climate resilience mitigates risk for investors. By 2030, we project a substantial 40% reduction in the vulnerability of communities to climate-related issues, safeguarding investments and ensuring resilience.
Global Leader in Sustainability
