Investor Details Founded: 2016
Established in 2016, the Fund for Export Development in Africa (FEDA) is the development impact-oriented subsidiary of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank). FEDA was created to address the estimated US$110 billion financing gap hindering intra-African trade, value-added export development, and industrialization across the continent. Headquartered in Kigali, Rwanda, FEDA operates with a pan-African mandate, aiming to provide long-term capital to support the transformation of Africa's trade sector.
FEDA pursues a multi-sector investment strategy along the intra-African trade, value-added export development, and manufacturing value chain. This includes sectors such as financial services, technology, consumer and retail goods, manufacturing, transport and logistics, agribusiness, and ancillary trade-enabling infrastructure like industrial parks. The fund focuses on investments that promote and facilitate intra-African trade and value-added export development, aligning with Afreximbank's broader objectives of accelerating industrialization and economic growth in Africa.
Since its inception, FEDA has made significant investments across various African countries. Notable investments include a US$85 million stake in ARISE Integrated Industrial Platforms (ARISE IIP) in 2022, a minority stake in Liquid Intelligent Technologies in 2021, and funding for the Cabinda Oil Refinery in Angola. In 2024, FEDA contributed US$300 million to ARISE IIP's US$443 million capital raise, further solidifying its commitment to industrial transformation across the continent. These investments underscore FEDA's role in bridging the financing gap and supporting the development of critical industries in Africa.
