IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused exclusively on the private sector in developing countries. We utilize and leverage our products and services—as well as products and services of other institutions in the World Bank Group—to provide development solutions customized to meet clients’ needs. We apply our financial resources, technical expertise, global experience, and innovative thinking to help our partners overcome financial, operational, and political challenges. Clients view IFC as a provider and mobilizer of scarce capital, knowledge, and long-term partnerships that can help address critical constraints in areas such as finance, infrastructure, employee skills, and the regulatory environment.

Our willingness to engage in difficult environments and our leadership in crowding-in private finance enable us to extend our footprint and have a development impact well beyond our direct resources.

"Art is what makes us human." These powerful words from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie resonated deeply during our recent conversation on the #CreativeDevelopment podcast. As we navigate the complex landscape of economic development, it's crucial to remember that progress isn't solely measured in numbers. Our discussion with the famous Nigerian author highlights the indispensable role of culture, storytelling, and shared humanity in shaping #Africa's future.
