PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT

Overview
Transforming Africa within a generation is only possible with a sustainable and competitive private sector. In many African countries, the local-content and small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) ecosystem is underdeveloped and characterized by limited investment, particularly in terms of patient capital. Combined with high barriers to entry into global supply chains and unsupportive public policy, SMEs face severe constraints on their ability to scale. Carefully considered, private sector-led initiatives anchored in sound analytics and practice can build up the ecosystem and enhance productivity, diversification, and export competitiveness.

Our work on Private Sector Development aims to drive an inclusive economic transformation by engaging the private sector with direct, impactful support. At the macro level, we promote evidence-informed private-sector friendly public policy and regulations and provide direction and coordination to strengthen the SME ecosystem. At the micro level, we assist SMEs in becoming investment-ready and support them to integrate into regional and global supply value chains through incubator and accelerator projects.
