A North/South platform of investors for development

Governance
PROPARCO benefits from both input from its private shareholders in terms of governance and strategic piloting and multifaceted support from Agence Française de Développement (AFD) in terms of financial backing and its experience in different geographical areas, networks, human resources and logistics.
PROPARCO can consequently provide innovative solutions to investors and borrowers and fully play its role as a catalyst for private investment in emerging countries. PROPARCO’s recent capital increase (ˆ 300M) further opened up its governance to private partners whose share rose from 31% in 2007 to 43% in 2008. The presence of AFD alongside French and European banks and financial institutions and major African partners (DBSA, BOAD, BMCE) makes PROPARCO a real platform of North/South public and private investors that works to support development.
