Daba finance invest in Africa

While venture capital is one way to support Africa’s climate resilience, public markets offer a more accessible option for everyday investors.


Africa is on the frontline of the global climate crisis, experiencing some of its most severe impacts. But alongside these challenges lies a tremendous opportunity for climate-focused investing, as the continent emerges as a hub for innovative and sustainable solutions.

If you’re looking to support climate resilience while tapping into Africa’s growing green economy, here’s everything you need to know about investing in companies championing climate action.

Understanding Africa’s Climate Challenge

Although Africa contributes just 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, it faces a disproportionate share of climate impacts. Rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, and extreme weather events are putting agriculture, water resources, and entire communities at risk. The World Bank estimates that climate change could drive up to 40 million people in sub-Saharan Africa into extreme poverty by 2030.

Despite these challenges, Africa is at the forefront of climate innovation.

Climate-focused startups on the continent have raised significant funding in recent years, targeting renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and clean transportation. These businesses are creating homegrown solutions like solar-powered irrigation systems and electric vehicles that are tailored to Africa’s unique needs.

Daba Climate & Sustainability Collection

While venture capital is one way to support Africa’s climate resilience, public markets offer a more accessible option for everyday investors.

The BRVM Climate & Sustainability Collection, available on the Daba app, provides an opportunity to invest in companies driving environmental change across West Africa.

This collection features businesses committed to renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure, waste management, and eco-friendly practices. These companies including SAPH, SOGB, Palm CI, Filtisac, Total Cote d’Ivoire and Ecobank Group aren’t just mitigating climate risks—they’re thriving in Africa’s emerging green economy.

For example, firms in the collection are financing solar projects, adopting climate-smart agriculture, and implementing resource-efficient practices that enhance their resilience and profitability.

Investing in these companies offers more than just financial returns. It’s a chance to support businesses that are shaping a sustainable future for Africa, contributing to both environmental stewardship and economic growth.

Why Corporate Sustainability Drives Success

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a business imperative, especially in Africa. Companies with strong environmental practices often demonstrate better risk management, operational efficiency, and stakeholder relationships.

In markets like Africa, where environmental challenges directly affect communities and industries, these factors are critical for long-term success.

For investors, companies that lead in sustainability present a compelling case. Not only do they offer resilience against climate risks, but they also capitalize on the growing demand for green solutions, making them well-positioned for future growth.

Investment Returns and Impact

The BRVM Climate Collection on Daba has already shown that investing in sustainability can deliver strong returns. Year-to-date, the collection has gained an impressive 17%, proving that financial performance and environmental impact can go hand in hand.

By investing in this collection, you gain exposure to companies actively transitioning to a greener economy. These range from banks financing renewable energy projects to agribusinesses adopting sustainable practices.

Investing in Africa’s climate-focused companies allows you to be part of a larger story—one that’s reshaping industries while addressing one of the continent’s most pressing challenges.
