SME's

SMEs have a clear role to play in economic growth and development by becoming major employers of labour and generators of wealth in Africa.

Unbanked

According to the World Bank, less than 20% of African households have any access to formal finance.

Housing Finance

Sub-Saharan Africa lacks affordable long-term housing finance for middle and low income segments.

Focus on the "Missing Middle"

SDG invests in banks and financial institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the goal to strengthen and refocus them on the "Missing Middle" market segment: SMEs, the unbanked (employees, families and community members of SMEs) and low- and middle-income households in need of mortgage financing.

By transforming the financial institutions and supporting their customers, SDG provides both financial and social returns for investors looking to contribute to economic growth and development in Africa.
