The deal flow
you require

The capital is available. The bottleneck is deal flow. We source, structure and pre-appraise the transactions that meet your criteria — concept note, full proposal, ESMP.

The problem

You have the mandate. You have the capital.

What is missing is files you can put in front of an investment committee: demonstrated additionality, a defensible financial model, an environmental and social management plan compliant with the Performance Standards. Your teams spend their time rewriting what the sponsor should have produced — and disbursements slip from one financial year to the next.

The principle

Your institution pays nothing

File preparation does not come out of your budget: the sponsor funds its own preparation — exactly the logic of international project preparation. Your institution receives a compliant file without having committed a single euro of technical assistance.

When your institution wishes to fund preparation directly — because the sponsor cannot afford it and the project deserves to exist — a technical assistance mechanism allows it, under your explicit mandate.

What we operate

From concept note to annual review

Investment-committee-ready file

Concept note, full proposal, Performance Standards-compliant ESMP, additionality note — bilingual where needed.

Post-disbursement monitoring

ESMP compliance reports, impact monitoring, annual review — to your institution's exact standards, without you having to chase.

Technical assistance window

The mechanism by which your institution directly funds the preparation of a project it wants to see exist.

How we work

01

We read your criteria

Country mandate, eligible sectors, ticket thresholds, additionality requirements, environmental category. Screening happens before, not during your appraisal.

02

We pre-appraise

The file reaches you in the format your committee expects — not an entrepreneur's business plan, an institutional file.

03

We stay on the ground

Local presence in the CEMAC zone: execution monitoring, alert detection, interface with authorities. You are not flying blind from Paris or Washington.

For an institution, a signature commits. The firm, its team, its working standards and its mandates are documented — due diligence runs on us too.

Institutional questions

Technical note

Why DFI pipelines fail in Central Africa — and how ours is built
