The International Finance Corporation, IFC and the China-World Bank Partnership Facility announced efforts to increase cross-border partnerships that will bring global financing and expertise to Africa, to help the continent close annual infrastructure gaps of $4.5bn, create jobs, and accelerate economic growth.
In a build up to the efforts, the IFC and the partnership facility hosted, on March 26, 2018, a meeting of senior business leaders from Africa, Asia, and North Africa to discuss private sector development opportunities in Africa’s infrastructure, transport, health, education, and other sectors.
