Summary/Abstract: This article describes the intra-African FDI in the period of 2001–2013. Its main purpose is to identify some specific patterns of this investment and compare them with FDI models of firms in non- African countries. The analysis includes the value of FDI, as well as its geographical and branch distribution.The research reveals that intra-regional capital flows have started to play a greater role in Africa’s FDI inflows. The geographical and branch structure of the projects of African firms differs significantly from that of firms located in non-African countries. Africa’s FDI is mainly concentrated in the western and eastern regions of the continent, in the service sector and manufacturing.
