Legal Officer

• AECF is a leading African-based development organization that leverages the power of the private sector to address systemic issues of rural poverty and employment across the continent. We find and fund innovative, gamechanging commercial businesses in the agribusiness and renewable energy sectors that transform the lives of low-income households. By catalyzing funding, we help companies surface and commercialize new ideas, business models, and technologies that increase agricultural productivity, expand energy access, and alleviate poverty, particularly where these efforts impact women and young people. AECF works in frontier markets, fragile contexts, and high-risk countries where few mainstream financing institutions go. We back bold enterprises to tackle climate risk, expand opportunity for women and youth, and build resilience in fragile contexts so rural and marginalized communities can rise out of poverty
• Since 2008, we have deployed over US$290 million, leveraged $916 million in additional capital, provided funding to 698 businesses in 27 countries – impacting 36 million people.
• The objective of the Legal Unit is to support AECF’s mission by providing strategic, efficient, and innovative legal services.
