Spark+ Africa Fund

Spark+ Africa Fund is an impact investment fund, financing scalable companies that provide next-generation, distributed clean cooking energy solutions to sub-Saharan Africa’s mass market. It provides crucial capital and leverages technical assistance, empowering portfolio companies to address environmental and health challenges linked to traditional cooking methods.

The fund emerged from a collaborative effort, supported by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, via the Clean Cooking Alliance. This development was driven by the insight into the urgent demand for sustainable cooking alternatives in underserved African communities, aiming to improve health and reduce environmental impact.

Portfolio companies utilize Spark+ Africa Fund's investments to expand operations, delivering cleaner, more efficient cooking technologies to millions across sub-Saharan Africa. Its long-term vision is to catalyze a transformative shift in the region's energy landscape, fostering a resilient ecosystem of clean energy providers for improved public health, economic growth, and environmental sustainability.
