How can a private company access funding from Development Finance Institutions?

Private companies can access DFI funding where a project or investment is financially viable, developmentally additional, and well governed. DFIs, including the World Bank Group and IFC, actively finance private sector projects in areas such as infrastructure, energy, agriculture, and financial services.

In practice, this requires:

  • A credible business or project model
  • Robust financial projections and downside scenarios
  • Clear development impact and additionality
  • Transparent ownership, governance, and compliance frameworks

Finocal supports private companies in structuring, preparing, and positioning transactions to meet DFI requirements and in managing engagement throughout the process.
