We work where capital meets opportunity — helping project owners become investable, and helping investors deploy with confidence in East Africa's growth sectors.
We connect project owners with the right capital — debt, equity, or blended finance. Our team structures bankable proposals and engages lenders and institutional investors to secure the financing your project needs.
From term sheets to financial models to due diligence preparation, we structure transactions that stand up to institutional scrutiny on both sides of the table.
For corporate and public sector clients, we provide market entry guidance, partnership development, and commercial strategy across East Africa's key markets.
Local regulatory knowledge combined with international financial standards — so your transaction moves through licensing, approvals, and compliance without losing momentum.
How we work
Every engagement follows a disciplined path from first review to financial close — so both project owners and capital partners always know where a transaction stands.
We review inbound projects against clear bankability criteria — commercial viability, sponsor strength, and sector fit — before anything enters the pipeline.
We work with the project owner to build the investment case: financial model, risk allocation, security package, and documentation that meets institutional standards.
We introduce the transaction to the capital partners whose mandate, ticket size, and risk appetite genuinely fit — no scattergun approaches.
We manage the process through due diligence, negotiation, and conditions precedent to financial close.
Post-close, we stay engaged — supporting reporting, covenant compliance, and investor relations so the transaction performs as structured.
Where we focus
We concentrate on East Africa's most investable growth sectors, where our regional networks and transaction experience run deepest.

Project Africa is structured around cross-border transaction integrity and strategic capital facilitation.
Our origins are in the development sector. Project Africa was founded by the team behind Catalyst East Africa, a not-for-profit supporting NGOs and social enterprises to become funder-ready. That heritage means we understand both the language of donors and the expectations of institutional investors — and we bring that dual fluency to every transaction. The two organisations operate independently, with separate governance and mandates.
Today, we operate as a private corporate finance advisory firm, connecting high-stakes opportunities in East African growth corridors with debt, equity, and blended finance from global development finance institutions and commercial lenders.
