The Diaspora Finance Initiative (DFI) has been set up to enable and facilitate diaspora investment in Africa. It offers diaspora investors and businesses the support they need to navigate the investment landscape of targeted African countries thereby improving the socio-economic status of these nations.

Target countries

Currently DFI assists potential investments in Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe

How it works

In addition to providing grants and business development services to diaspora businesses poised to contribute to Africa’s development, DFI also helps them scale over legislative and pecuniary barriers to investments that will create jobs, generate wealth and improve the living standards in target countries.
