Our Products
We provide tailor-made solutions for our partners, going beyond finance to include technical assistance as well as capacity-building measures. We offer three groups of products and services:
Concessional finance
On behalf of the German Government, KfW Entwicklungsbank is promoting infrastructure development in Sub-Sahara Africa through our concessional finance window. That includes grant financing (e.g. for rural electrification projects) as well as loans at highly concessionary conditions.
Promotional loans
We offer promotional loans at conditions similar to those prevailing in the international capital markets. The purpose is to close the gap in the supply of loans between the concessionary loans and financing through commercial banks.
Technical assistance and capacity-building
We assist our partners in turning infrastructure projects into success stories through provision of targeted technical assistance and capacity-building.
Our Strengths
KfW Entwicklungsbank has been a trusted partner of public and private clients in African infrastructure for several decades. We combine a number of key strengths with our commitment to promoting infrastructure development:
- We merge long-standing development expertise with the toolbox of a bank.
- We offer a unique range of financial products that can be tailored to almost any infrastructure project in the region.
- We put a premium on poverty-orientation and long-term sustainability of projects we finance.
- We have a strong presence in our client countries.
