The African Development Bank (AfDB) and Michael R. Bloomberg have launched a strategic partnership to mobilize private capital across Africa, aiming to channel more investment into infrastructure, jobs, and sustainable growth. The collaboration, announced at the Bloomberg Philanthropies Global Forum in New York, will bring together major financial institutions and stakeholders to reduce barriers for private investors and amplify the impact of capital in African economies.
One of the core goals is to raise awareness of AfDB’s investment mobilization tools, while exploring new financial and policy innovations to enhance private sector engagement. Africa is estimated to need over USD 1.3 trillion to meet its development goals and USD 68–108 billion annually just for infrastructure. Through this partnership, the AfDB hopes to catapult Africa toward being a premier destination for global investment by aligning capital with high-impact projects.
For investors and local businesses, this is a rare moment: leveraging the AfDB-Bloomberg platform offers access to curated deal pipelines, de-risked investment instruments, and policy support that can help them scale more confidently across sectors—from energy and agri to technology and infrastructure.
