Projects are typically in electricity, water and sanitation, solid waste, transportation, telecommunications, social housing, health, and education sectors.

CTA mobilized $6.2 billion of private investment in FY25, translating into about 25% of IFC's total core mobilization. Drawing on over 30 years of experience and over 120 staff across the globe, CTA currently manages over 100 active client engagements. Africa has 25 to 30 staff distributed in five regional hubs located in Cairo, Johannesburg, Nairobi, Abidjan, and Abuja.
