Session 5: Launching DFC’s development strategy

As the global community continues to grapple with the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Atlantic Council is open for business. Our business, meetings, and events, however, are occurring virtually. For more information, please read an update from our President and CEO.

Launched at the end of 2019, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has an investment cap of $60 billion and has selected Africa as a priority region for future investments. African peer institutions have taken a leading role in responding to the COVID-19 crisis, yet the prospects for immediate recovery and sustained growth rely in part on increased cooperation between US and African development finance institutions and a concomitant boost in two-way trade and investment. This conference is intended to support the DFC’s mission by reaching a wide audience of US investors who are interested in African markets. 

This session invites DFC executives to outline the organization’s new development strategy, which catalyzes $75 billion over the next five years to maximize development while creating strategic, sustainable growth. Moderation and remarks ​will be provided by DFC Chief Development Officer Mr. Andrew Herscowitz.
