On World Malaria Day TLG Capital is proud to re-affirm its commitment to helping combat malaria and achieving US Sustainable Development Goal number 3, which aims to ensure health and wellbeing for all ages. Africa accounts for up to 95% of malaria cases and 96% of fatalities, and TLG’s portfolio continues to distribute anti-malarial medication that will ultimately help eradicate the disease.
 
In East Africa, Cipla Quality Chemicals is one of the foremost contributors to The New Uganda Malaria Elimination Strategy Plan 2021-2025. This strategy aims to reduce malaria infections by 50% , morbidity by 50% and mortality by 75% by 2025. 
 
In Benin, Togo and Guinea, TLG Pharma has distributed over 8 million anti-malarial tablets. TLG’s Investment Professional, Aum Thacker, was recently in West Africa with the team to help cement its growth plans for further development in 2023 and 2024.
 
As an impact investor, TLG is committed to supporting innovative solutions that help reduce the burden of Malaria on its communities! #worldmalariaday #CQCIL #TLGPharma #UNSDGs #Africa

On World Health Day, TLG Capital (TLG) is proud of the impact that our portfolio companies are making in Africa: 

TLG Pharma: Distributed over 284 million EU-compliant medications since 2020 across some of Africa’s poorest countries.

Cipla Quality Chemicals: Manufacturing medication for over 1,000,000 Ugandans currently receiving HIV treatment.

Express Pharmacy: Combatted the rise of counterfeit and expired drugs in Nigeria by providing low and middle communities with verified medication.

However, there remains much to be done to mobilize capital into healthcare from the private sector! As highlighted by the International Finance Corporation, healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa remains the worst in the world, with few countries able to spend the $40 a year per person that the World Health Organization considers the minimum for basic healthcare.

“Women are the backbone of any society. They are the first educators, they are the first caregivers, they are the first peace builders.” - Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former President of Liberia and Nobel Peace Prize laureate

As we celebrate the incredible achievements and contributions of women around the world, it’s also important to reflect on the challenges that women face and the important work to be done.
 
In Africa, where TLG focuses its attention, women-led businesses contribute $105 billion to the continent’s GDP and women drive 70% of African consumer spending, yet there are many barriers to women finding equal participation in economic life.
 
For example:
 
🌱 African women make up 70% of the agricultural workforce but own just 1% of the land
 
🏦 Only 37% of African women have bank accounts
 
🏥 Women are 1.7 times more likely to be infected with HIV than men
 
As an investor in better healthcare, financial inclusion, and consumer empowerment, TLG believes that using a gender lens in investing is essential to improve the opportunities and quality of life for women who work in and are served by these sectors.
 
What are the most important challenges you see to realizing gender equality in Africa? 

How can entrepreneurs and investors take on these challenges?
