Additionality

We invest in a strategic way to fill market gaps and reach underserved businesses.

What we do

EDFI member institutions are focused on the development of private sector enterprises and operate in developing countries and emerging economies. They are mandated by their governments to contribute to the SDGs by creating jobs, boosting growth, fighting poverty and climate change. Although EDFI members have slightly different mandates and strategies, they are guided by a common ambition: “To improve people’s lives – for current and future generations – in countries where the need is the strongest, through the engine of private sector growth.”
