What they say about us
“PDBs play a major role in the global economy. They have immense financial power — $23.2 trillion in assets and up to $1.4 trillion in annual investments."
"The European Commission supports PDBs globally through the PDB Platform and has extensive experience on mobilization of capital for food systems through commercial banks, pension funds, and private equity fund."
"The importance of coalitions is to mobilize funds and create investment opportunities, where there is a greater convergence in financing models to support development goals."
“On the climate, public development banks must make themselves heard on the global stage”
"PDBs have a mandate to the poorest and the most vulnerable. AFD has been supporting PDBs for many years, actually for over 80 years since its creation."
Our partners
Agri-PDBs partner with farmers' organizations, research institutions, development organizations, central banks, and SMEs to promote sustainable agriculture and rural development. They work together to boost smallholder farmers' economic growth, improve food security, and increase food security.
