Vital Capital, a pioneering impact investment, private equity fund focused on companies in sub-Saharan Africa, has announced a collaboration with the U.S. Government\u2019s Kenya Investment Mechanism (KIM). KIM is a five-year program funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to unlock significant financing to businesses in targeted sectors that have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Managed by Palladium, an international impact advisory and management firm, KIM aims to unlock $400 million in investments for key sectors of Kenya\u2019s economy, including agriculture, and for regional trade and investment opportunities. By unlocking finance to agribusinesses and other sectors, KIM will pull small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) into competitive and growth-oriented value chains to foster broad-based, sustained, and inclusive economic growth in Kenya.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to launch this major collaboration to support Kenyan agribusinesses in what is an incredibly challenging economic environment,\u201d said Nimrod Gerber, Managing Partner, Vital Capital. \u201cKIM\u2019s goals are closely aligned with our own and we have a shared vision for the economic development of the agricultural sector in Kenya. We believe this collaboration has the potential to effect real change and support smallholder farmers survive the worst ravages of the COVID-related economic crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Kenya, COVID-19 threatens livelihoods and food security in a nation that is already grappling with the worst locust infestation in 70 years and trying to recover from extensive flooding. Around 27% of households are suffering from food shortages, according to a recent survey by the World Bank, while in May, the Central Bank of Kenya warned that some 75% of the country\u2019s SMEs face collapse without funding from banks or equity partners.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, Vital Capital and KIM will collaborate to identify potential opportunities in KIM\u2019s pipeline that corresponds to Vital Capital\u2019s investment mandate and to leverage KIM\u2019s network of transaction advisors to more efficiently bring transactions to close under Vital Capital\u2019s investment committee. Vital Capital and KIM are seeking to identify and execute at least five completed transactions, providing at least $5 million in financing, to alleviate the strain of COVID-19 on impactful Kenyan businesses, sustaining 500 jobs.<\/p>\n

The collaboration follows Vital\u2019s launch in April of the Vital Impact Relief Facility, a $10 million emergency loan facility to offer critical funding to promising African businesses to help them overcome the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
