Despite often smaller ticket sizes, healthcare and social infrastructure projects are vital for Africa’s development. This session considers how we finance these projects:

  • How are healthcare exporters securing financing for small ticket deals?
  • Could longer tenors help finance social infrastructure projects?
  • What role do DFIs and ECAs play in ensuring social infrastructure deals get over the line? Could we see more collaboration between the two agencies?
  • What role does private capital have to play in financing social infrastructure projects?
