AFRICAN GUARANTEE FUND

AGF was established in 2011 by the Government of Denmark (represented by DANIDA), the Government of Spain (represented by AECID) and the African Development Bank (AFDB), with a mandate of facilitating access to finance for SMEs to enable them fully play their role of driving the growth of African economies.

In 2015, four years after its founding, AGF concluded its first external growth operations with the acquisition of the Guarantee Fund for Private Investment in Africa (GARI Fund) for an amount of 35 million USD. At the end of this operation, the French Development Agency (AFD) became AGF’s fourth shareholder.

In 2016, the Nordic Development Fund (NDF) became AGF’s fifth shareholder. Under the leadership of NDF, AGF launched a Green Guarantee Facility to unlock financing for SMEs that invest in or market low-carbon technologies.

In 2017, Fitch Ratings assigned an AA- rating to AGF making it the first Guarantee Fund in Africa to receive such a rating. With the exception of the African Development Bank’s AAA rating, no financial institution based in Africa is assigned such a high rating.

In 2018, the Danish Investment Fund for Developing Countries (IFU) and the German group KfW became AGF’s sixth and seventh shareholders respectively.
