We Have the Power to Impact Africa's Future — and We're Doing Something About It
Pipal Limited was established in Kenya in 1993 as a project finance advisor. Initially the company's focus was on corporate finance, advising private clients on project development and capital raising.
Pipal has worked extensively with private sector development finance institutions such as IFC, AfDB, DEG, BII, FMO, and Swedfund to arrange financing for private projects, as well as providing credit appraisal and management for many of these institutions.
Pipal has also provided consultancy services to public sector financiers including the World Bank, KfW, AfDB, and the EU on the development and privatisation of water, transportation, and energy infrastructure.
