Development Finance Institutions (DFIs)

Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) are specialized financial organizations that provide funding and support to promote economic development, especially in developing countries. They offer loans, equity, and technical assistance to projects that aim to create jobs, improve infrastructure, and foster sustainable growth, often focusing on sectors like agriculture, energy, and manufacturing. Unlike commercial banks, DFIs prioritize social and environmental impact alongside financial returns, working with governments, private companies, and communities to address development challenges and stimulate long-term progress.
