FAQs
Do I need to commit my own financial resource and a certain amount of staff time? What is that expected to be?
All projects that go through CAPE will need to be able to provide an adequate level of input and engagement to allow the agreed project development support and transaction support to take place. This will vary based on the requirements of each project and will form an important part of the co-design phase. There may be scope for CAPE to fund some of this core staff time cost.
What will the second stage of the EOI involve?
Stage 2 of the EOI will be shared with projects who successfully pass Stage 1 eligibility. It will involve collecting more detailed information and key documentation (e.g., feasibility study, financial model) from the selected projects. This information will allow us to assess projects against our screening criteria.
Are there any countries that are excluded from CAPE?
All African countries are eligible for CAPE. In the EOI, projects should outline any political/regulatory/legal risks in their jurisdiction and demonstrate a good understanding of how to mitigate them.
What types of funding are available?
CAPE has grant funding available for projects. This may be on a pure grant basis, or a repayable basis (0% interest loan). The specific structuring of this would be developed during the co-design of project support.
