I. General Questions about Miradi
Miradi is the first pan-African platform that centralizes and structures all information on private sector development support programs in Africa. Developed by Fanaka&Co, it has become the essential reference for all development actors by offering a comprehensive database, updated in real time, covering all 54 African countries.
Our competitive advantage is based on three pillars: #ContextIsTheKey with our local expertise and in-depth knowledge of African ecosystems, #SkinInTheGame with our total commitment to proactive collection and quality validation, and our partner ecosystem comprising more than 20 international donors and national development agencies.
Miradi is intended for all private sector development actors: entrepreneurs and SMEs seeking financing, international and national donors, development institutions, governments and public decision-makers, development consultants and experts, civil society organizations, and private investors.
