Who We Are
DANANGO LDA: Your Strategic Project Coordinator
DANANGO LDA is a project coordination and development company registered in Bulgaria, with operational offices in Israel and Portugal. Founded by Dan Mellul, a Franco-Israeli entrepreneur with 20 years of experience in project development in emerging markets, the company operates at the interface of sovereign governments, multilateral lenders, and international construction and agri-tech groups.
Its area of focus is primarily Africa, where DANANGO identifies, structures, and steers transformative projects with high economic and social value. The company does not carry out the construction work itself: its role is that of exclusive coordinator and operational architect, from feasibility studies through to financial close.

Agriculture & Irrigation
Unlocking Africa's Agricultural Potential

DANANGO, in partnership with LR Group LDA, is coordinating an irrigation and agri-technology program targeting 2 million hectares in the priority regions of Central Africa, West Africa, and Southern Africa. The program is structured as an agricultural PPP with sovereign guarantees from partner ministries of agriculture and co-financing from the World Bank and the AfDB.

Total Budget
250 beds
Per Hospital Center
African priority markets have less than 0.1 doctor per 1,000 inhabitants — one of the lowest rates in the world. The gap in healthcare infrastructure is estimated at more than 400 missing regional hospitals needed to cover the country's 26 regions. DANANGO, in partnership with Alliances Group, is coordinating a program to build 20 Regional Hospital Centers (RHCs) in phase 1, inspired by the proven model in Cameroon (8 RHCs delivered under a turnkey sovereign mandate).
Program Structure
Each RHC is delivered under a fully integrated turnkey model: architectural design compliant with WHO standards, construction, supply and installation of medical equipment (imaging, operating rooms, laboratories), training of local healthcare staff, and final handover to national health authorities. Standard capacity per RHC: 250 beds, 4 operating rooms, intensive care unit, maternity, and pediatrics. Estimated unit cost: $35-45M per RHC. Total phase 1 program: $700-900M.
  • 20 Regional Hospital Centers in phase 1, covering 15 priority regions
  • Integrated medical equipment to WHO standards (imaging, surgery, laboratory)
  • Training of 2,000 local healthcare professionals over 5 years
  • Sovereign guarantee from the Ministry of Health with repayment over 15 years
Why Alliances Group?
Alliances Group is the only African group to have delivered a turnkey sovereign hospital program at this scale on the continent. In Cameroon: 8 RHCs delivered, 800 social housing units for medical staff, on time and within the contractual budget. With more than 15 years of presence in sub-Saharan Africa, 3,500 African employees, and an established network of local subcontractors, Alliances brings immediately deployable execution capacity for the DRC.

Direct Beneficiaries
students
African priority markets show a primary school enrollment rate of 77% — but only 42% at the secondary level. The deficit is estimated at more than 120,000 missing classrooms needed to achieve national education targets by 2030. DANANGO is coordinating a school construction program in partnership with LR GROUP, TGCC Group, and Alliances Group, structured according to the same turnkey sovereign model applied to healthcare infrastructure. Phase 1: 500 school complexes across 10 priority regions.
Scale of Need
120,000 missing classrooms nationwide. Secondary school dropout rate: 58%. Priority regions: regions underserved by educational infrastructure.
Delivery Model
Turnkey school complexes with 12 to 24 classrooms, integrating science laboratories, digital libraries, sanitation facilities, and teacher housing. Designed in line with Ministry of EPST standards in priority African markets by TGCC and Alliances Group, with 60% local labor.
Financing Structure
Sovereign guarantee from the partner sovereign ministries, with repayments spread over 10 years. Program eligible for co-financing from the World Bank (GPE), the AfDB, and UNICEF. Estimated unit cost: $1.2 to $1.8M per school complex. Phase 1 budget: $600 to $900M.
Long-term Impact
Each school complex generates 150 direct jobs during construction and 45 permanent jobs (teachers, staff). Across the full program: 75,000 jobs created, 250,000 additional students enrolled as early as phase 1, with a direct contribution to SDG 4 and SDG 8.
