The African Local Currency Bond Fund ("ALCB Fund") is a pan-African investor in local-currency corporate bonds.
The ALCB Fund works with African issuers, investors and intermediaries to bring new bond transactions to market, aiming to deepen local capital market ecosystems. The Fund does so by being an anchor investor and providing technical assistance. It is also an advocate, aiming to demonstrate the benefits, for end-beneficiaries, investors and issuers, of local capital markets as a source of sustainable long-term financing.
The Fund invests in a diverse range of sectors, including financial services, infrastructure, agriculture, housing, education, healthcare and renewable energy.

The challenge was to simplify a technically dense topic - how bottlenecks in local finance systems hinder economic growth - and show how ALCB Fund steps in to support innovation, transparency, and access to funding for SMEs and low-income sectors. By visualizing these mechanisms, the video helps demystify financial processes and communicate the Fund’s mission to a broad audience, from policymakers to potential investors.
This piece plays a vital role in ALCB’s advocacy efforts, demonstrating its impact through a crisp, animated narrative that educates while inspiring action.
