Pioneering Change in East Africa’s Debt Capital Markets
Dhamana Guarantee Company is a credit guarantee vehicle, dedicated to the East African capital market for domestic funding of long term (infrastructure) assets, similar to InfraCredit in Nigeria and InfraZamin in Pakistan.
Dhamana focuses on local institutional investors, providing the basis for delivery of a sustained flow of local currency debt products into the real economy.
The investors benefiting from the guarantees become familiar with the risks associated with long-term asset finance, such as infrastructure, and gradually develop an appetite for unguaranteed investments.

Developing green, inclusive and sustainable communities across Africa
Social Infra Ventures will develop and own greenfield affordable housing and social infrastructure projects (such as healthcare, education and sport facilities, and civic service) in North and West Africa.
Social Infra Ventures is providing green quality affordable housing for sell or rent and developing social facilities to create sustainable and inclusive communities.
Social Infra Ventures is catering the growing needs of low to middle income families in Africa.
Social infrastructure has a positive impact on communities and helps develop a more inclusive and sustainable society (SDGs 11)
The masked reality is that there remains a large segment of African households that cannot afford to buy a house, even one that is heavily subsidized.
For many households, renting is a cheaper alternative to homeownership: Social Infra Ventures is creating the first residential rental platform for Africa.
Partners and investors
Social Infra Ventures has two promotors: Cardano Development and AIP, a vehicle of the venture’s management. Social Infra Ventures is supported by JoDEA through a development grant.
