Though, the venture capital funding of $1.2 billion was impressive, considering the global economic downturn that led to the decline in venture funding in nearly every countries, it is a 21 per cent year-on-year (YoY) decline compared to the over $1.5 billion raised in 2021.

Data from Africa: The Big Deal, revealed that, among the big four countries in Africa that have raised significant capital funding, only Nigeria and South Africa recorded a decline in funding in 2022, while adding that, South African startups only raised $500 million by the end of November 2022, which is half of the funding it had raised by that time in 2021.

This decline is attributed mainly to the H2 slump in funding that hit nearly every tech ecosystem on the continent even as the CB Insights State of Venture Q3’22 Report, revealed that, venture funding in Africa surprisingly dropped by 54 per cent in Q3 2022.
