Africa Scale Facility

Unlocking Africa's Transport and Logistics Potential
Empowering SMEs and Enhancing Regional Trade

Accelerating Africa’s regional trade and economic integration by empowering SMEs, improving infrastructure, and advancing logistics innovation.

In Africa, the transport and logistics sector is the backbone of economic growth, facilitating the movement of goods, services, and people across the continent. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) presents a historic opportunity to boost intra-African trade by up to 72% by 2030. However, the sector faces challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, bureaucratic delays, and limited access to finance for innovative SMEs.

SMEs in the transport and logistics sector struggle to access affordable credit, hindering their ability to invest in modern equipment, technology, and infrastructure. Our platform is designed to bridge this financing gap by providing affordable capital for SMEs in transport and logistics.
