Lower-cost institutional capital for East Africa.
EACDA structures concessional debt, project finance, and green facilities with tenors of up to 20 years across the East African Community.
Capital solutions for East Africa's core industries.
Capital that fits the project, not the other way around.
EACDA combines concessional debt, project finance, and hybrid capital into one structure, sized to the cash flows and the risk allocation.
From first diagnostic to financial close.
A single team across bankability, structuring, syndication, and execution, with the discipline institutional lenders expect.
Capital for the sectors that build the region.
Eight sectors, one standard of underwriting. We work where the project has a clear revenue case and a credible sponsor.
A disciplined path from mandate to financial close.
Four stages, one accountable team, and a clear decision at each gate.
01 / Feasibility and bankability
Cash flows, DSCR, risk allocation, and asset valuation tested before capital is approached.
02 / Capital design and modelling
Blended finance layers, concessional debt, equity, guarantees, and WACC modelled together.
03 / Institutional syndication
Placement with DFIs, ECAs, sovereign wealth funds, and private debt on aligned terms.
04 / Execution and financial close
Term sheets, covenants, collateral, conditions precedent, and disbursement managed to close.
Decide with a model, not a hunch.
Two tools for sponsors who want the numbers to hold up before the first meeting.
