Customer

MC IV is the fourth Private Equity Fund managed by Mediterrania Capital Partners Ltd. The Manager is head-quartered in Malta and operates offices in Egypt, Morocco, Côte d’Ivoire and Mauritius. MC IV will continue to follow the predecessor funds’ strategy as a sector agnostic PE fund investing in North Africa and francophone West Africa.  

Funding Objective

MC IV will focus on investments in North Africa, primarily Morocco and Egypt, as well as Francophone West Africa. The fund targets fast-growing companies with strong management teams operating in dynamic growth markets. It will follow a sector-agnostic approach, with investments in healthcare, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), financial services, and manufacturing.

Reasons for financing

The transaction is expected to have a significant developmental impact, particularly in the areas of local in-come and decent jobs. Sourcing from local suppliers and capital expenditures will strongly contribute to local income growth, with the MC IV portfolio expected to generate approximately EUR 800 million in local income and achieve an average annual revenue growth of 21%. The fund is also forecasted to create approximately 1,500 jobs, with an expected average job growth of 20% five years after investment, driving growth in owner-managed mid-cap businesses and fostering the creation of decent jobs.

DEG has provided MCP with Business Support Services (BSS) focusing on climate-related initiatives for port-folio companies, as well as a measure to build capacity for climate investments at the manager level. Addi-tional technical assistance is being planned to support MC IV with climate and ESG-related projects.

The proposed investment aligns with DEG’s Impact.Climate.Returns strategy, featuring a strong DERa score, very low emission intensity, and above-average expected returns. This transaction also contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by investing in healthcare, SDG 4 (Quality Education) through capacity-building initiatives, and SDG 5 (Gender Equality) by fostering inclusive growth in its portfolio companies.
