Better together: ECA & DFI collaboration

When risks are high, support from agencies can make a huge difference to a project’s viability. Over the last years, we’ve seen ECAs and DFIs working together more and more to help mitigate risk on vital projects. This session considers the trend:

  • What type of project can benefit from combined ECA and DFI support?
  • What challenges arise from the collaboration between ECAs and DFIs on African projects?
  • We examine real-life transactions which have benefitted from collaboration between ECAs and DFIs
