Fund geography
Emerging countries (256) / Africa (127) / Middle Africa (17)
In sub-Saharan Africa, economic activity broadly takes the form of either informal micro-businesses or large multinationals. The difficulty and cost of accessing long-term finance and the lack of strategic consultancy services are the principal brakes on the development of mid-sized businesses. Yet it is precisely these mid-sized businesses which play a key economic role, allowing the development of competitive, job-creating sectors, and providing their employees with secure incomes. IPDEV makes minority equity and quasi-equity investments in mid-sized businesses and microfinance institutions in eleven sub-Saharan African countries and in very diverse sectors (health, agriculture, public works, services, etc).
IPDEV1 supports the transfer of know-how and skills through training missions carried out by teams in the field and through technical assistance. IPDEV also plays the role of an investment catalyst: as a minority shareholder it involves other investors, usually local, in its projects (sometimes helping to identify them).

Impact thesis
IPDEV1 aims to develop an efficient private sector and strengthen the economic fabric in Africa through investments in SMEs and MFIs.
Investments target SMEs showing a strong impact in terms of (i) local added value (processing from local sourcing, development of the value chain, creation of local markets for smallholders), (ii) access to quality goods and services to local populations (iii)job creation.
IPDEV1’s impact outcomes include:
- creation and development of African SMEs: IPDEV has invested in 33 SGBs and MFIs which could not find other funding sources; 17 of them were start-ups co-founded by IPDEV.
- Job creation and poverty reduction: 1,400 jobs created and consolidated; indirect job created in the value chain especially with local suppliers. For example: 900 livestock farmers sell their milk to the dairy company Laiterie du Berger in the North of Senegal and 6,000 smallholder farmers supply Phileol, a castor oil producer in the South of Madagascar.
- Access to essential services: provision of financial services to 32,000 individuals, sustainable access to water and electricity for 10,000 individuals, access to affordable generic drugs and health services in Mali, Niger, Cameroon and Senegal.
