The information asymmetry between the capital sources in the Northern Hemisphere and Africa exacts untold transaction costs on Africa. As a direct result, African opportunities incur extra costs or penalties, and instead of engaging in longer-term mutually beneficial equity or debt direct investment, capital often pivots
to shorter-term portfolio investment based on
its high return.
Advocacy | Designing Africa-Specific Engagement Programs in North America
