Kibo Capital Partners is a private equity management company based in Mauritius, licensed by the FSC as CIS Manager. With two funds currently under management, totaling US$100 million, Kibo Capital Partners focuses on investing in growth companies in Eastern and Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean islands. They believe in participating in the rise of African economies by creating sustainable long-term value.

Kibo recognizes the immense potential for value creation in SMEs and Middle-Sized Enterprises in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). These enterprises play a crucial role, accounting for up to 90% of all businesses and contributing more than 60% of GDP. On average, they also tend to grow faster than larger enterprises.

However, 40 - 60% of these SMEs lack access to financing, presenting a compelling investment opportunity. With their expertise in sectors such as consumer goods, healthcare, education, financial services, manufacturing, and agribusiness, Kibo Capital Partners provides growth capital and strategic insights. They actively engage at board level, assisting companies with operational performance, international expansion, succession planning, stock exchange listings, and mergers and acquisitions with international players.

With a strong presence and knowledge in the local market combined with an international reach, Kibo leverages its networks, including key development finance institutions and leading industrial groups in the Target Region. This enables them to support their portfolio companies in achieving their strategic goals and creating sustainable value
