Interview - RSCF, P4F & MFF: “Mobilising Investment for Forests and Sustainable Land Use in Africa”

Our RSCF, P4F and MFF experts highlight Africa’s strong potential for nature-positive growth, driven by valuable natural assets, expanding markets, and rising global demand for sustainable commodities such as cocoa, timber, and non-timber forest products. Despite this potential, early-stage finance gaps and limited investable pipelines constrain growth. P4F addresses these challenges by incubating forest-friendly businesses, improving market access, and strengthening enabling conditions. RSCF accelerates investment by supporting fund managers and project developers, sharing early-stage costs, and reducing risk perceptions. MFF deploys flexible concessional capital, including equity, debt, grants, and technical assistance, to de-risk investments and scale viable projects. The joint interactive session at AGES is significant because it brings together three complementary programmes spanning the full investment spectrum, offering practical insights into building and financing a strong pipeline of forest-positive businesses.
