Who we are
01
EDFI MC mission
We empower entrepreneurship in frontier markets. As the platform of European DFIs for innovative solutions, we are at the forefront of blended finance, bridging the investment gap for private sector projects.
02
EDFI MC vision
A world where responsible entrepreneurs are equipped to drive sustainable development which creates jobs, enhances quality of life and fights climate change.
Sustainability
We are an impact first organisation. Every project we become a part of is based on sustainable goals. We embrace sustainability internally as well. It is our strategic and operational imperative.
Entrepreneurship
We strongly believe in the power of entrepreneurship. It is deeply embedded in our purpose to take more risk than other investors so that we open doors to markets that are deemed too risky.
Integrity
We uphold ethics and honesty in the execution of professional duties. We are transparent about our intentions and reliable in our actions and prefer substance over form.
Accountability
We take ownership and think ahead. We are responsive and honour our commitments. We are ready to explain and justify our actions.
Inclusiveness
We seek diversity, that brings different perspectives, as well as collaboration in decision-making. We ensure that everybody is valued, respected and given equal opportunities.
Additionality
We invest in a strategic way to fill market gaps and reach underserved businesses. Our financial solutions represent an additional layer to the market, meaning we step in when entrepreneurs face challenges securing commercial financing due to the high-risk nature of their ventures or of the markets they operate in.

Guarantees
In 2022 EDFI MC and the EU signed the first Guarantee Agreement to implement MSME Platform program, a risk-sharing mechanism to foster financing from European DFIs to local financial institutions. The final goal is addressing financial constraints faced by MSMEs. This new business line will be complemented with new risk-sharing facilities. The EU allocated through EFSD+ to EDFI MC € 1.4 billion guarantees to mobilise financing to developing countries.

Syndications
Working together with EDFIs and EIB, through a streamlined syndication model we show our clear commitment for a greater outreach in supporting private sustainable growth in developing countries and emerging markets. Nine European DFIs (BIO, Cofides, DEG, FinnFund, FMO, IFU, OeEB, Proparco and SwedFund) together with EIB committed in 2022 € 680 million to the joint investment vehicles European Financial Partners (EFP) and Interact Climate Change Facility (ICCF). This pledge proves that union is strength.

Grants
Beneficiaries of grants are early stage companies which allows us to work more in upstream, involving more “market creation” and complementing the investment activities under AgriFI and ElectriFI, aimed at “market accelerating” in the sectors of off-grid energy and agricultural markets.
