Long-term Financing For Africa

Its easier to explain failures than successes! Ours fitted in well with a demand from both local populations and public authorities, who were looking for a new way of partnering and investing. The very basis of Meridiams business model is our ability to make long-term commitments. From the outset, the design of our projects is linked above all to public demand, right up to the moment of operation.

We are active in three key areas: sustainable mobility, energy transition and low-carbon solutions to help the public sector and industry decarbonize , and human services, including education, healthcare and social infrastructure.

All of these are essential public services for which we need to forge partnerships with the public, governments and local authorities, particularly in areas such as Africa, which require partnerships with multilaterals or bilateral financial institutions in order to bring the best of our projects to life.

First and foremost, we focus on the areas with the greatest needs the issue of essential service is the first criterion for us. We dont want to build infrastructure to please people, but to have an impact. In the field of sustainable mobility , the Bus Rapid Transit BRT in Dakar, for example, is having a major impact on peoples daily lives.

Our funds are regulated by the AMF, the French financial markets authority. Capital is raised on a regular basis from institutional investors, including pension funds and insurance companies around the world, as well as development banks such as the European Investment Bank.
