AADFI and Forum des Caisses de Dépôts Advocate for Domestic Resource Mobilization 

AADFI and the Forum des Caisses de Dépôts co-hosted a regional virtual meeting on September 10, 2025, focusing on unlocking domestic private resources and savings for long-term investment. The session highlighted the Caisses de Dépôt model as a powerful mechanism for channeling local savings into development priorities. 

A key outcome was the proposal to establish a working group to promote the Caisses de Dépôt model for domestic resource mobilization and investment in African countries. The working group will aim for collaboration, exchange of best practices, and peer learning on Caisses de Dépôt.

2026 AADFI Annual General Assembly

The Association of African Development Finance Institutions (AADFI) is pleased to announce that its 2026 Annual General Assembly will take place from May 24 to 29, 2026, in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, on the sidelines of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Annual Meetings.

The Annual General Assembly will be held on the theme “Augmenting Sovereign Finance in Africa: DFIs Unlocking Growth and Resilience through NAFA,” with a focus on the transformative role of African Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) in strengthening Africa’s financial sovereignty. The discussions will align with the AfDB-led New African Financial Architecture (NAFA), a system-level framework designed to mobilize long-term investment, reduce Africa’s cost of capital, and reinforce resilience through coordinated financial systems and deeper domestic capital markets.

The Annual General Assembly will convene leaders of African DFIs, government officials, regional institutions, and development partners to further explore how African DFIs can catalyze local investment, de-risk strategic projects, and strengthen economic autonomy to build resilience against global shocks and bridge the continent’s infrastructure funding gap.

Further details will be shared in the coming weeks.
