We Help African Governments
Fund Transformative Projects
Ubuntu Capital is a London-based advisory firm that helps Sub-Saharan African governments and public agencies secure concessional loans, bilateral financing, grants, and commercial capital for projects that drive real economic growth.
Our Services
Financing Advisory for Africa's
Most Important Projects
Government Financing Advisory
We work alongside government ministries, agencies, and parastatals to identify, structure, and secure the right financing for public infrastructure and development projects — from concessional and bilateral loans to grants and commercial lending.
Project Preparation & Structuring
Many transformative African projects fail to attract capital not because they lack merit, but because they lack preparation. We bridge that gap — building feasibility studies, financial models, and bankable proposals that meet international financing standards.
Capital Mobilisation
We connect African public-sector projects with the right sources of capital: development finance institutions, export credit agencies, bilateral lenders, and private capital markets. We know who funds what, and how to get to yes.
Sector Focus
Sectors That Build Nations
We focus on sectors that form the productive backbone of African economies — the sectors where financing unlocks employment, import substitution, food security, and sustainable export income.
Agriculture Modernisation
Sub-Saharan Africa holds 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land, yet imports $40 billion in food annually. We help governments finance irrigation infrastructure, storage and cold-chain facilities, agro-processing plants, and agricultural mechanisation programmes.
Housing & Urban Development
Africa needs 50 million new housing units by 2030. We advise governments on financing affordable housing programmes, urban infrastructure, and real estate developments that serve citizens — from social housing bonds to DFI-backed mortgage facilities.
Export Income Promotion
Economic sovereignty requires export earnings. We help governments finance projects that generate hard currency — from value-added manufacturing and mineral beneficiation to export processing zones and trade infrastructure.
Infrastructure & Industry
Roads, energy, water, manufacturing — the building blocks of industrialisation. We help governments prepare and finance large-scale infrastructure projects through blended finance structures, PPP frameworks, and multilateral lending windows.
Our Network
Connecting Projects With the Right Capital
We maintain working relationships with the institutions that finance Africa's development. Our role is to help governments navigate these institutions' requirements, prepare compliant applications, and structure projects that attract capital.

Why Choose Us
Why Governments Work With Us
We bring together African insight and international finance expertise to help governments access the capital their projects deserve.
We Understand Both Sides of the Table
Our team combines hands-on experience in African business with deep knowledge of how international financiers evaluate risk. We speak the language of government planning departments and the language of DFI credit committees — and we translate between them.
We Do the Preparation Work Others Skip
Most advisory firms want to attach themselves to projects that are already bankable. We work with governments from the earliest stages — conducting feasibility assessments, building financial models, stress-testing assumptions — so that by the time a project reaches a lender's desk, it's ready.
African-Led, London-Based
Founded by Africans with direct business operations across the continent, we bring genuine local knowledge and networks. Our London base gives us proximity to European DFIs, private capital markets, and the international development finance ecosystem.
