Côte d'Ivoire: Comoé Capital exits stake in publishing company

Comoé Capital, Côte d’Ivoire’s leading impact investment fund and partner of Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P), has exited its investment in Vallesse Editions, an Ivorian publishing house, after three years.

Vallesse was created by Fidèle Aké-Diomandé, who already had several years of experience in the publishing sector.

To strengthen and develop its publishing activity, Vallesse obtained a financial and technical contribution through the Education Impact Fund (EIF), the first fund dedicated to education in Côte d’Ivoire, managed by Comoé Capital.

”Comoé Capital’s contribution over the last three years has been invaluable and has enabled us to develop in every respect. This participation has contributed to significantly improve the quality of our publications and, consequently, facilitate the work of teachers and improve the level of our high school and middle school students,” says Aké-Diomandé.

Adama Fofana, head of the EIF portfolio at Comoé Capital points out, ”The most valuable value in a portfolio is the entrepreneur and in Côte d’Ivoire we have motivated, courageous and committed entrepreneurs. With the Education Impact Fund (EIF), we participated in an extraordinary journey with Mrs Fidèle Aké-Diomandé, a dynamic and very enterprising woman. This investment reflects our confidence in the potential of women entrepreneurs.”
