Catalysing project development: DFI leaders’ panel

Simply put, most projects would not get done without DFI or MDB involvement. This session gathers leading DFI and multilateral voices active across Africa to ask:

  • What schemes and initiatives do our DFIs run to encourage investment into Africa?
  • How do DFIs collaborate with ECAs and the private sector to get more deals done?
  • What role does private capital investment play in DFI transactions?
  • What does the project pipeline look like, and how will DFIs mobilise capital into Africa’s considerable infrastructure gap?
