About Investisseurs et Partenaires (I&P)
For over 20 years, Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P) has been committed to financing African SMEs and supporting the development of investment teams across the continent. I&P focuses on the “missing middle” of the African economic fabric: small and medium enterprises with financing needs below €5 million.
The program is rolled out by three partner teams from the I&P-sponsored African impact fund network (which finance and support high-potential small and medium enterprises): Comoé Capital in Côte d'Ivoire (oversees Togo), Fako Capital in Cameroon, and Teranga Capital in Senegal. In Uganda, the financial institution Finance Trust Bank (FTB) is responsible for implementing the pilot guaranteed loan project.
