Africa has a strong need for foreign direct investment and innovating and adapted financing. This role of attraction of the investments and the financings is from now the private sector duty. For this reason, ATEPA Group intends to play its part fully and assume its responsibilities. Thus, based on its multiple contacts with institutional or private investors throughout the world, ATEPA Group intends to place at the disposal of its partners, solutions for financing their projects. It consequently intends to collect and exploit the enormous layers of financings existing throughout the world through the installation of innovative formulas of private public partnership, south-south and North-South partnership, based on the added value of various competences around well identified projects.
As two existing initiative, we can cite, the “African Mining Investment Partnership” and the creation of the “Economic Foundation Africa-India” which consist in gathering around the same sector or from the same axis of co-operation various technical and financial skills, data bases allowing the identification of precise and well conceived projects, thus facilitating the mobilization of international financings.
Based on this same philosophy, Mr Pierre GOUDIABY ATEPA and his Group were the initiators of the international tripartite partnerships, presenting a first pole “Project-Resources” (generally localised in Africa), calling upon a second pole “Technology” (use of Indian, Chinese, Brazilian, Russian… technologies) to emphasize the resources or to support a project in order to mobilize a third pole “Financing” (emergent countries, Europe, Middle East, private financial partners) to carry out in a concrete way the projects.
This tripartite partnership can also be put at the service of the African governments, in particular of the least Advanced Countries (LDC) which, because of their engagements near the international financial institutions, do not always have all the latitude to mobilize certain funds for the realization of their projects of development. Within this framework, the technical partner or foreign supplier of the project can be given an international funding which will be guaranteed by another country. This is what we call the “Third Party Guarantor” concept.
Whichever the more suitable or more adapted setting to your project, ATEPA Group will be at your sides to initiate, stimulate, coordinate and catalyse its financing.
