Our Work

Africa and the Middle East are regions with significant need for investment to improve living standards, foster connectivity with the rest of the world, and pave the way to a more prosperous and stable future.

Latin America and the Caribbean are not only close neighbors, but also critical partners in promoting regional stability and security.

The Indo-Pacific—a vast region that stretches from India to Southeast Asia and the South Pacific—is home to more than half the world’s population as well as multiple rapidly emerging economies in great need of investment.

Private sector investment has helped lay the groundwork for a more prosperous, stable future in Eastern Europe and Eurasia since the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1990s.

Investments in critical infrastructure including roads, airports, seaports, and power plants promote trade and regional connectivity—creating jobs and fostering economic growth.

Trusted technologies enhance connectivity in the developing world; helping expand access to healthcare, education, and food, and making business more efficient and secure.

People in developing countries face many barriers to accessing hospitals, doctors, and basic medical services.

Limited access to financial services disproportionately impacts women and rural populations, restricting economic growth in emerging markets.

Investments in agriculture are critical to supporting the world’s farmers and bolstering food security.

Education is one of the most effective tools for increasing opportunity, strengthening communities, and helping families move out of poverty.

The world’s largest emerging market isn’t a country or region; it’s the world’s women.

DFC is investing more than $1 billion in economic growth and connectivity in Africa.

DFC’s PI² initiative aims to bridge the financing gap for early-stage social enterprises with innovative solutions to challenges facing the developing world.

A world increasingly connected through technology, travel, and trade needs modern infrastructure to create economic opportunity.

Resilient health systems are fundamental to global prosperity, stability, and security.
