After nearly two years of work, we were finally able to present C4I MENA Fund I to investors and partners at our first investor event.
It was an important milestone and, at the same time, the culmination of a major joint effort. An investment fund like C4I MENA Fund I is not built overnight. It requires a strong team, the right partners and advisors, and, not least, a structure that can bring public donations and private investment capital together.
C4I MENA Fund I aims to mobilize private capital for small and medium-sized enterprises in Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, and Jordan. Companies with the potential to grow and create local jobs, but which often lack access to the right financing.
“A great deal of work has gone into creating the structure that can now put investments to work. It has been a team effort all the way, and it is a milestone that we are now ready to bring investors on board.”

A big thank you to the entire team at Capital 4 Impact Foundation and Capital 4 Impact Management, our local partner Middle East Investment Initiative, and all the advisors and partners who have helped lay the foundation for the fund.
“With the C4I MENA Fund I, we aim to demonstrate how development capital can help mobilize private investment in markets and companies where capital is crucial for growth and, in particular, new jobs. We are ready to put the blended finance model into action.”

Last but not least, thank you to everyone who attended the presentation and helped make the evening an important milestone marking how far we have come and the beginning of the next chapter for C4I MENA Fund I.
