Pleased to share that we signed a $265M financing package with @Rawbank_sa and global partners to expand SME lending across the #DRC. Access to credit can determine whether a business survives or scales and is a key driver for economic growth and job creation.

At @MyZambeef’s Mpongwe Farms, a new wheat mill processes 150 tons daily. W/ support from @IFC_org, this investment is about more than production — it’s creating jobs, developing skills, & strengthening food security in Zambia & the region. ➡️ wrld.bg/WbyL50Yf2nm

Just back from my first visit to Mogadishu as IFC’s Director for Somalia — a productive trip with Somali public & private partners. Together we’re working on energy, connectivity & PPP reforms to build foundations for private sector partnerships that advance national goals.

Excellent meeting with President @WilliamsRuto. We’re ready to move at speed on Kenya’s infrastructure agenda—PPPs, energy, and airport modernization. Looking forward to advancing the conversation on financing these transformative initiatives.
William Samoei Ruto, PhD@WilliamsRuto

Our innovative approach to development financing, including the establishment of an Infrastructure Fund, is drawing strong interest from partners. This model will accelerate the realisation of our national development goals. Held talks with the Managing Director of the International Finance Corporation, @Diop_IFC, Washington, D.C., in the United States. We welcome the IFC’s confidence in the proposed Infrastructure Fund and appreciate their interest in investing. We also look forward to hosting an IFC delegation in Kenya early next year, led by the Vice President, Industries, Mohamed Gouled, to advance discussions on energy and infrastructure investment especially the modernisation of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport under the Public Private Partnership model. Other areas of partnership include the expansion of major roads, generation and transmission of geothermal, hydro and wind power.

With 60% of its population under the age of 25, Africa is full of energy and creativity. Yet, in a world increasingly shaped by digital technologies and AI, millions of young Africans remain disconnected. How can we accelerate Africa's digital revolution? wrld.bg/Rwo550XtiaN
