In a recent episode of the Unlocking Africa podcast, Dr Rufaro Nyakatawa, Jersey Finance’s Market Development Consultant – Africa, joins host Terser Adamu to explore how international finance centres (IFCs) like Jersey are supporting Africa’s ambitions for a more sustainable, inclusive and prosperous future.
Listeners can discover more about the challenges and opportunities African countries face and why sectors such as energy, transport and water are critical to their economic transformation. She also explores how African governments and the private sector can support capital mobilisation and innovation to scale sustainable infrastructure solutions.
Drawing on real-world examples from across the continent that are beginning to deliver tangible impact, Rufaro explains how Jersey is playing an increasingly important role in connecting global capital to sustainable opportunities in the region. She also shares her experience of working with fund managers who use Jersey as a platform to structure vehicles for international investors, particularly in Europe, who focus on purpose-led growth.
She concludes the episode by highlighting the importance of aligning purpose with capital.
