A Committed Actor In Building A Uniquelyafrican Model Of Development
The success of AFG Holding is built on four fundamental pillars: resilience in the face of challenges, a constant focus on our clients and markets, pragmatic innovation, and a sincere commitment to the continent's development. We have always believed that Africa requires strategies built from within, grounded in an intimate understanding of local realities. Our ability to combine operational excellence with adaptability has not only enabled us to grow but also to create lasting impact in each of the markets where we operate.
What role do partnerships with governments and local communities play in the success of your projects across Africa?Our projects would never have achieved their scale without constant dialogue with governments and local communities. We firmly believe that economic growth only makes sense if it is shared. Our institutional partnerships ensure that our initiatives are aligned with national public policies, while our engagement with local communities anchors our projects in real economic needs. This dual approach guarantees that our contribution to economic development is both sustainable, inclusive, and fully aligned with our pan-African mission.
In your view, what are the biggest misconceptions that international investors have about doing business in Africa, and how can they be addressed?One of the most damaging misconceptions is the tendency to view Africa as a homogeneous and unstable terrain. In reality, it is a continent of exceptional diversity, rich in local dynamics and structural opportunities. To correct this biased perception, investors must adopt an approach based on listening, deep understanding of ecosystems, and long-term commitment.
Our experience has demonstrates that, by relying on locally rooted actors - such as AFG Holding - it is possible to combine economic performance with lasting impact.
