Frequently Asked Questions
How does Assadiq work with state governments?
We start by assessing development needs and ranking projects by strategic relevance, expected impact and financing potential. Priority projects then move through feasibility, documentation, financial structuring and engagement with financiers, and we stay on through implementation and capacity building.
Which development finance institutions do you work with?
We match each project to the institutions and funding windows that fit its sector, eligibility, scale and financing needs. Members of our team have worked on programmes involving the World Bank, AfDB, IsDB, BADEA, EBID, FAO and GIZ.
Can you structure Islamic finance?
Yes. We support Sharia-compliant financing alongside conventional, blended and climate finance, choosing the arrangement that suits the project, the borrower's capacity and the financier's requirements. Our leadership includes senior Takaful and Islamic finance professionals.
Why stay involved after financial close?
Because financing is only the start. We help implementing agencies deliver on time and accountably, then transfer the knowledge, systems and capabilities so they remain with the institution long after advisers and financiers have left.
Executive Credo
Our Philosophy & Governance
Development finance is not simply about obtaining a loan. It is about preparing the right project, structuring appropriate finance, implementing effectively, transferring knowledge and sustaining results.
To become a leading African development finance and transaction advisory institution, mobilising sustainable capital for transformative development.
To ensure that project knowledge, systems and capabilities remain within the beneficiary institution long after external advisers and financiers have completed their assignments.
