| Abstract Text | In sub-Saharan Africa exists a large financing gap in the agricultural sector. The study investigates whether development finance influences the investment strategies of blended finance funds to mobilise additional private investments. For the exploratory study, fourteen semi-structured interviews were conducted, twelve with managers of blended finance funds active in agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. The interviews were analysed using MAXQDA. The results show that development finance acts as a catalyst for the funds’ implementations. The fund managers state that without development finance their strategies would not be implementable whereby they use blended finance instruments to improve private investors’ risk-return profiles |
