In this episode of the Business Schools for Climate Leadership Africa podcast series, Tanya Dos Santos-Ford speaks with Dr Sherwat Elwan Ibrahim and Sundus Al Nahari from the American University in Cairo about Paper 2 of the BS4CL Africa White Paper Series.

The discussion explores how blended finance can unlock green technology investment in Egypt and other developing markets by combining concessional public or philanthropic funding with private capital. The episode explains how blended finance helps de-risk projects, improve bankability, and attract commercial investors to green projects that may otherwise struggle to secure funding.

Dr Sherwat Alwan Ibrahim and Sundus Al Nahari unpack the barriers facing developing markets, including high capital costs, regulatory uncertainty, fragmented governance systems, limited pipelines of bankable projects, and the need for stronger coordination between governments, development banks, private investors, and local actors.

The conversation also highlights the importance of country-specific and sector-specific finance models, especially across renewable energy, water infrastructure, agri-tech, and other green technology sectors. It makes the case for stronger national climate strategies, better monitoring and accountability frameworks, localised KPIs, and more effective climate finance architecture to support Africa’s green transition.

This episode offers valuable insights for policymakers, investors, development finance institutions, business schools, researchers, entrepreneurs, and business leaders interested in climate finance, blended finance, green technology, and sustainable development in Africa and other emerging markets.
