Making Africa’s capital work for Africa’s development.

​Hosted by the African Alliance for Multilateral Financial Institutions (AAMFI), the African Union (AU), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Development Reimagined (DR).

​Making Africa’s capital work for Africa’s development

​Africa faces major financing gaps, including an estimated US$68–108 billion annual infrastructure financing gap and around US$74 billion in unmet trade finance needs. With AAMFI members collectively holding more than US$85 billion in assets, there is significant scope to make Africa’s own capital work more effectively for long-term development.

​Join AAMFI, the African Union, UNDP and DR on 14 October at the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok for a high-level discussion on how African multilateral financial institutions can mobilise more affordable, long-term capital and channel it towards productive investment, regional value chains, trade, manufacturing and value-added exports.

​The event will bring together leading African policymakers and financial institutions to explore practical opportunities to strengthen Africa’s financial architecture and ensure African capital plays a greater role in financing Africa’s development.
