Private investors

Norfund always invests with international or Norwegian partners. As a minority investor, we seek to mobilise capital and attract competent and experienced investors to our projects.

The main investment partners are:

 

Other Development Finance Institutions

Norfund works closely with the other European DFIs both as co- investors, as well as sharing experiences and challenges.

EDFI - the Association of European Development Finance Institutions is an association of the 15 bilateral Development Financial Institutions in Europe. The Association aims at strengthening the information flow and cooperation between its members and other bilateral, multilateral and regional development finance institutions. Norfund has extensive collaboration with EDFI (including the joint investment mechanisms Interact Climate Change Facility (ICCF) and European Financing Partners (EFP))   as well as several of  EDFI’s individual members.

The IFC (the World Bank’s private sector investment fund) and the African Development Bank are other important partners for Norfund.

 

Norwegian governmental and non-governmental institutions

Norfund is in continuous dialogue and cooperates with a number of Norwegian organisations, both traditional development aid organisations and commercial players.

Norfund was one of thefounders of Norwegian African Business Association (NABA) to strengthen business cooperation between Norwegian and African businesses. NABA organises conferences, seminars and other services for Norwegian businesses operating in Africa or trading with African companies.
