Africa Project Development Facility

The APDF seeks to accelerate development of productive enterprises
sponsored by private African entrepreneurs as a means of generating
self-sustained economic growth and productive employment in Sub-Saharan
Africa. The facility provides advisory services to private African
entrepreneurs in preparing viable projects, works with the entrepreneurs to
secure financing, and helps them obtain technical and managerial assistance
to start their projects. APDF was established in 1986 as a United Nations
Development Programme project -- with the International Finance Corporation
as executing agency and the African Development Bank as regional sponsor.
The facility maintains offices in Nairobi (Kenya), Harare (Zimbabwe), and
Abidjan (C“te d'Ivoire).
