East Africa is one of the fastest growing regions in the world.

Why East Africa?

East Africa is one of the world’s fastest-growing regions, with GDP growth far outpacing the emerging market and Sub-Saharan Africa averages. In 2024, four of our six focus countries ranked among Africa’s Top 10 fastest-growing economies.

Our focus countries—Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia—boast a combined population of 240 million and a GDP of $290 billion, yet GDP per capita remains low at $1,200. This combination of high growth and untapped potential offers profitable opportunities aligned with ESG priorities and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Covering a land area larger than Europe’s 10 largest economies combined, East Africa’s young, rapidly growing population (median age 18) stands in stark contrast to Europe’s stagnating demographics.

Additionally, East Africa’s lower correlation to global economic shocks makes it a smart choice for investors seeking diversification and resilience against global disruptions.
