FSD Africa Strategy 2025-2030

The FSD Africa Strategy 2025-2030 outlines a five-year plan to transform African financial markets to better support sustainable economic growth and climate resilience. The agency aims to mobilise domestic private capital—estimated at $2.4 trillion—to address systemic gaps in green economy investment, sovereign debt distress, and gender disparities through catalytic interventions, policy reform, and targeted investments via its arm, FSD Africa Investments (FSDAi).

• FSD Africa identifies a significant opportunity to leverage domestic private capital, which is estimated at $2.4 trillion and could grow to $6.4 trillion by 2040 at an annual rate of 6%.
• The 2025-2030 strategy focuses on six priority areas to accelerate investment flows: the energy transition, adaptation finance, finance for Small and Growing Businesses (SGBs), debt management to address sovereign distress, carbon markets, and gender-focused climate finance.
• The agency highlights critical financial and environmental pressures, noting that African public debt reached nearly 70% of GDP in 2023 and that climate adaptation costs may hit $50 billion per year by 2050.
• To implement its strategy, FSD Africa will establish four Centres of Expertise (COE) and a new Catalytic Transactions Team specifically to improve the generation of an investible pipeline.
• FSD Africa has established specific development impact targets for the strategy period, including adding or enabling 1,500 megawatts of energy capacity and creating, protecting, or supporting 200,000 jobs.
• The agency's track record includes advising on Kenya's first green bond in 2019 and supporting the African Local Currency Bond Fund, which mobilised $2.2 billion in domestic private capital.
