Our investment
In April 2018 CDC committed $25 million to Synergy Private Equity Fund II.
Expected impact
Synergy’s second fund will expand the availability of equity financing for high growth SMEs in Anglophone West Africa, primarily focussed on Nigeria and Ghana, but also with the potential to allocate up to 10% of the fund to Sierra Leone and Liberia.
