Blended finance has emerged as a key tool for mobilizing private capital to address development and climate challenges, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. As climate risks intensify, the need for sustainable investment in sectors like energy, agriculture, and financial services becomes more critical.

Convergence’s recently published [State of Blended Finance 2024: Climate Edition](https://www.convergence.finance/resource/state-of-blended-finance-2024-climate-edition/view) provides fresh insights into the state of blended finance globally, with a special focus on climate-related investments. The report highlights that Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 41% of climate-blended finance transactions, driven by the continent's investment opportunities and urgent climate needs. Despite significant progress, barriers such as perceived risks and relatively small transaction sizes continue to hinder private sector participation in the region.

Join us, alongside Africa's Green Economy Summit, for this webinar as we present key findings from the report, discuss the successes and challenges in mobilizing climate finance in Africa, and explore strategies to unlock more private capital with a climate lens.
