Sub-Saharan Africa has significant need for investments in energy, critical minerals, and information technology, and offers broad opportunities for investors.

With rapid population growth and home to many of the world’s fastest-growing economies, Sub-Saharan Africa is central to the economy of the future both as a growing consumer market and a source of resources critical for securing U.S. military and industrial supply chains. Africa has also become central for strategic competition, especially with China. 

DFC investments in Africa support critical infrastructure, including roads, ports, and telecommunications, to facilitate long-term economic growth and supply chains. These projects strengthen local economies and create new opportunities for trade and investment.
