At the World Bank, we believe that every person has the right to a better future, regardless of where they live or what challenges they face. That’s why we’re proud to announce the launch of our new subsidiary, focused specifically on supporting the francophone countries of Africa.

With our extensive experience, resources, and networks, we believe that we can make a real difference in the lives of people across the continent. Whether it’s through providing access to finance, supporting entrepreneurship, or promoting sustainable development, we’re committed to helping Africa thrive.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to support the development and growth of francophone African countries in a way that is sustainable, equitable, and inclusive. We believe that a strong and vibrant private sector is essential to achieving these goals, and we’re committed to working closely with governments, businesses, and communities to foster growth and prosperity.

As part of this mission, we offer a wide range of services and support, including:

• Financing and investment
• Technical assistance and capacity building
• Policy advice and research
• Networking and partnership building

Our Impact

Since we began our work in francophone Africa, we’ve already seen some incredible results. From supporting small and medium-sized enterprises to building sustainable infrastructure, our efforts are making a real difference in people’s lives.

For example, we recently partnered with the government of Senegal to provide financing for a new solar power plant, which is now providing clean, renewable energy to thousands of people across the country. We’ve also worked with businesses and entrepreneurs to help them access the funding and support they need to grow and thrive, and we’ve provided technical assistance to governments to help them develop policies and programs that support sustainable development.

Join us in Building a Better Future

We believe that the future is bright for francophone Africa, and we’re committed to doing everything we can to support its growth and development. Whether you’re a business looking for financing, a government seeking policy advice, or an individual looking to make a difference, we invite you to join us in building a better future for all.
