African Development Bank
The African Development Bank (AfDB) is Africa’s premier development finance institution that is dedicated to combating poverty and improving living conditions across the continent. The AfDB is also engaged in mobilizing resources for the economic and social progress of its Regional Member Countries (RMCs). The Bank’s mission is to promote economic and social development through loans, equity investments and technical assistance. The AfDB finances projects in infrastructure, agriculture, health, education, public utilities, transport, telecommunications, industry and the private sector.

Through its private sector window, AfDB supports private initiatives and provides financial assistance for commercially viable projects. Bank financing is provided to private enterprises and financial institutions in the form of term loans, equity and quasi-equity investments, guarantees, underwriting and loan syndication. The bank also extends lines of credit to private financial intermediaries, especially commercial banks, investment banks and development finance institutions. In general, the bank contribution to any project amounts to about one third of the total project cost.
