OUR SOLUTION
Leverage private, return-seeking capital to achieve public health goals with a "Capital Stack" Approach
To achieve Africa’s health goals,
we must position private, return- seeking capital to co-invest alongside African governments and donors to scale transformative health innovations that serve the most vulnerable.

What we do
The gap between Africa’s health financing needs and current resources has only widened since the advent of COVID-19. To close the gap, we need a new approach: a robust pipeline of investable high-impact healthcare deals, capital that accepts realistic risk-adjusted returns, and blending through a “capital stack” approach.
We pursue this mission through following:

COALITION BUILDING
We engage our coalition members and deep network of leading healthcare and financing partners to create a common vision for a “capital stack” approach to blended finance in Africa.

DEVELOP & STRUCTURE
Core to the HFC efforts, we design and structure high-impact deals and financing platforms to chart a path to scale. This set of activities includes supporting firms to be investment ready, what we call “deal construction.”
![Group 657](https://healthfinancecoalition.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Group-657.png)
RESOURCE & LAUNCH
In order to make these deals and platforms a reality, the HFC recruits partners and raises financial resources for select initiatives. The HFC draws on its network of coalition members and global partners to support these efforts.

SCALE & OPERATE
In some cases, the HFC also manages ongoing operations for financial products or platforms. When HFC can demonstrate an innovative approach, we will continue to support the implementation & ensure impact.
