A message from our CEO

I'm thrilled to share our vision for East Africa's transformation. We're not just a guarantee company; we're pioneering change in debt capital markets. Our goal: tackle inefficient domestic liquidity allocation. By attracting local capital into the real economy, we'll fuel growth and innovation.

Dhamana has a special role in shaping the debt capital markets in East Africa. Its potential for change is unmatched, and I believe it will make a big difference in how investments are done across the region.

Join us on this exciting journey towards a more vibrant and prosperous East Africa.
