What needed solving
Pipeline identification, ecosystem mapping, and enterprise due diligence for the LuxAid Demonstration Fund in Rwanda across digital agri-food and backbone infrastructure.
The fund needed a broad, transparent pipeline of eligible Rwandan companies in agri-food, and rigorous checks before awarding grants, without duplicating what other donors were already funding.
How we tackled it
- 1
Pipeline Identification & Scouting
Partnered with key ecosystem actors (GIZ, ENABEL, Swiss Contact, RDB, Norrsken, MinAgri, etc.) to scout commercially viable SDG-aligned enterprises.
- 2
Ecosystem Initiative Mapping
Mapped active funding programs to identify co-financing options and eliminate duplicate grant efforts.
- 3
Enterprise Due Diligence
Applied LuxDev evaluation criteria and due diligence frameworks to score and vet shortlisted enterprises.
Key outputs
- Ecosystem Mapping Matrix
Overview of active agri-food initiatives and co-financing partners.
- Shortlist Portfolio
Vetted pipeline of at least 10 high-growth innovative enterprises.
- Due Diligence Reports
Comprehensive due diligence dossiers built on LuxDev standard templates.
The difference it makes
- Catalyzed capital deployment towards scalable digital connectivity and cold chain/logistics innovations in Rwanda.
