“There is a mismatch between enterprises seeking long-term growth capital and investors looking for credible, investment-ready companies to invest in." - Cristina (EU in Uganda Programme Manager for Access to Finance, Agribusiness and Land) #PrivateCapital #LongTermFinance

Cristina EAVCA CMA Uganda FSD Uganda .Cristina also hailed the role of DFF in ecosystem building in the sense that we raise awareness about alternative financing mechanisms that can be used by SMEs and also increase their knowledge on how to deal with this type of investors. #PrivateCapital #LongTermFinance

Cristina EAVCA CMA Uganda FSD Uganda Cristina noted that DFF has made a significant impact in its four years of operation. The program has screened over 300 Ugandan SMEs seeking capital and prepared more than 60 of them for investors. This work has resulted in 4 successful deals,with 2 additional follow-up deals.

“The goal of the survey was to understand how the market has evolved since the pandemic after the initial 2021 study and to evaluate whether more capital is being unlocked for SMEs.” - Amanda Kabagambe (Managing Director, Bethel Advisors) #PrivateCapital #LongTermFinance

She noted that while the report presents a mixed bag of findings both progress and challenges, these constraints also open up opportunities for imagining things, like green finance or gender-specific financing or climate resilient financing. #PrivateCapital #LongTermFinance

“As long as we have insufficient local #PrivateCapital moving around in the system,we're always going to be in that race competing against other more advanced markets."- Leonard Businge,the country coordinator of East Africa Venture Capital and Private Equity Association remarked

According to Leonard, to grow a thriving #PrivateCapital ecosystem, it's essential to have not only more investors but also a greater number of skilled professionals, such as lawyers, accountants, fund managers, and transaction advisors, who understand how to structure deals.

“A lot of funds have money they can't deploy because businesses aren't ready. Investors will only give you a limited window so we need to strengthen our intermediaries to reduce the back-and-forth and get businesses ready for deal closure ."- Leonard Businge #LongTermFinance
