ICF

The Investment Climate Facility for Africa - Making Africa an even better place to do business

Project Strategy

ICF's strategy for achieving its vision of an improved investment climate for Africa includes tackling a particular issue or problem on a pilot basis in a country where the conditions for successful improvement are optimal.

Once success has been achieved in that country, ICF will then work with other countries to introduce the proven process of reform and share key learnings. In such a way ICF hopes to deliver tangible and long-lasting reform on a step-by-step basis. Governments and policy makers are encouraged to engage with ICF to identify priorities for intervention and propose specific projects for ICF funding.

The initial phases of the ICF's activity will be driven by three strategic themes:

    Intra African Trade:
  • Improving Africa's import and export environment
  • Improving and simplifying administration in Africa in order to facilitate cross-border trade
    Facilitation of business development and expansion:
  • ICT and infrastructure development
  • Business registration and licensing
  • Property rights
    Facilitation of financial and investment environment:
  • Development of capital markets
  • Increased access to finance for enterprises
  • Improved regulatory environment for second and third tier institutions
