Oumy Sene's Company Details
Mecene Investment is a private equity advisory firm, specialized in socially responsible investments in Africa. The growing needs for capital, coupled with the successful introduction of financial services to the poor through microfinance, lead to the genesis of Mecene Investment, a private equity vehicle channeling social capital for the African private sector. The company draws on its successful private equity experience in Africa, especially in the microfinance industry, to promote equity and debt investments in industries that provide high social, environmental, and developmental impact. Mecene Investment is the primary advisory to the AfriCap Microfinance Fund. Founded in 2001, the AfriCap Fund provides equity capital and technical assistance to leading African MFIs. AfriCap offers an integrated investment package and invests with equity and quasi-equity instruments while also providing management advice, governance, and technical assistance. The adjoined Technical Services Facility (TSF) and Fintech Africa provide the financial means for building capacity within portfolio companies and creating an environment that enables broader access to finance.
