African Finance Leaders Sign Pact to Fuel Homegrown Investment
African Finance Leaders have signed pact to fuel homegrown investment. This was done at the GVCA Conference in Accra.
This is where leaders in private equity, pensions, and securities have made the decisive move.
They signed a Compact aimed at channeling more local capital into African venture capital and private equity funds.
Top industry players like Deloitte, EY, KPMG, Aruwa Capital, and Oasis Capital endorsed the Compact.
Regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Pensions Regulatory Authority also backed the agreement.

This collective action shows strong momentum for African-led investment.
Stronger Ecosystems Can Unlock Billions
GVCA CEO Amma Gyampo urged stakeholders to act quickly.
She noted that Africa’s pension and insurance sectors hold untapped potential. By investing in local funds, they can help build strong companies and create stable jobs.
She also emphasized the need to keep fund vehicles in local currencies. This approach, she said, prevents value loss and builds resilience across African markets.
In addition, the conference focused on strengthening the investment ecosystem. Training Limited Partners, improving infrastructure, and attracting women and youth were highlighted as priorities.
At the same time, speakers called for policy reforms to support a shift toward alternative assets.
If just 5% of institutional allocations move into private equity by 2026, billions could be unlocked for African development.
