The Programme
The £50m Growth Gateway Programme aims to drive increased two-way trade and investment between the UK and Low- and Middle-income Countries (LMICs) and Low-Income Countries (LICs), to deliver significant benefits to both. Gateway has a global remit with the mandate to prioritise high potential and strategic regions in Africa and the Indo-Pacific region.
The programme works directly and indirectly with the private sector to achieve this through:
General guidance on trade & investment with a focus on UK-Africa: Digital guidance on export readiness, import regulations, financing options and more
Business advisory support dedicated to Africa only: Direct support to UK & LIC and MIC firms to advance opportunities with positive development impact
Targeted interventions: Technical analysis to unlock sectoral & cross-cutting barriers and develop opportunity pipelines
Growth Gateway is implemented by a joint public-private sector team from FCDO, DBT, and the Boston Consulting Group led consortium of PA Consulting, Tetra Tech and Invest Africa.
Tetra Tech carries out the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) functions on Growth Gateway. We have developed the Theory of Change, Logframe indicators and measurable targets; and are responsible for analysing and confirming all reported outcomes, outputs and results.
