Celebrating Excellence in Private Equity with the GP Awards

Driving growth through recognition

The Central Africa Markets Private Equity Association (CAMPEA) is proud to partner with SuperReturn Africa, the continent’s foremost private equity and venture capital gathering, in advancing recognition for excellence in private equity.

At the heart of this collaboration is the GP Awards, an annual celebration that recognizes outstanding general partners (GPs) investors who are shaping Africa’s future through bold strategies, impactful investments, and sustainable value creation.
