Overview

Development finance for education infrastructure and skills investment

Consultinghouse structures financing for public-private education partnerships, vocational training facilities, and social impact investment mandates aligned with development goals.

Education demand across the continent outstrips public provision, and private and blended models have filled the gap. Assets are financed against fee income and, increasingly, against development finance targeting skills and employability.
