Today marks the official opening of the Africa Investment Forum (AIF) Market Days in Rabat, Morocco. As Africa’s leading investment marketplace convenes, DBSA CEO Boitumelo Mosako delivers a powerful message of progress, partnership and possibility, a reminder that mobilising capital is not just about financing infrastructure, it is about financing dignity, access and opportunity. At AIF Market Days, the DBSA will continue to: • Catalyse private investment and de-risk large-scale projects • Prepare bankable opportunities that attract global capital • Scale infrastructure where impact matters most • Bridge the gap between ambition and delivery Every investment has a human story behind it: clean water for families, energy for entrepreneurs, access for communities, connection for youth. That is the story we bring to Rabat. Africa is investable, resilient and ready. #AIF2025 #AfricaIsReady #CountdownToAIF #DBSAImpact #InvestInAfrica

At the current AIF Market Days, Shaheed Alli, Head of Project Preparation (Project Development Support), is highlighting a transformative coastal transport initiative that is reshaping how people and goods move across the region. The project introduces a modern passenger and logistics terminal that strengthens connectivity between island and mainland economies. It enables smoother mobility, more efficient trade and enhanced tourism across important maritime corridors. Shaheed emphasises that the impact extends far beyond the infrastructure. The development is expected to create thousands of jobs, stimulate logistics and services, and unlock new economic value chains that support GDP growth and local enterprise. These are practical projects delivering measurable benefits for communities and industries. With the DBSA providing technical assistance and funding during the preparation phase, Shaheed reinforces the Bank’s catalytic role in ensuring that strategic infrastructure becomes bankable and investment-ready. This is how projects move confidently from concept to execution. Africa is investable, resilient and ready to deliver the partnerships and projects that power sustainable growth. #AfricaIsReady #AIF2025 #DBSAImpact #InvestInAfrica #DBSAatAIF#InfrastructureForDevelopment #AfricaInvestmentForum #AfreximBank #Africa50 #AfDBatAIF#BADEA #TDBANK

Africa’s investment landscape is shifting from intention to implementation as practical, well-prepared projects build growing confidence across the continent. Catalytic partnerships, innovative financing and sector-shaping initiatives are moving into delivery, demonstrating Africa’s readiness for scaled investment. At the current AIF Market Days, Spiwe Sibanda, Head of Transacting (Product Innovation), highlights how these developments are reshaping the continent’s future. Clean mobility systems are supporting the transition to low-carbon transport. Digital health solutions are improving access to care. Regional transport corridors and critical minerals value chains are strengthening integration and positioning Africa competitively in global markets. The DBSA continues to advance these projects through disciplined preparation and solutions that unlock capital and reduce risk. Confidence is rising because delivery is underway. Africa is investable. Africa is resilient. Africa is ready. #AfricaIsReady #AIF2025 #DBSAImpact #InvestInAfrica #DBSAatAIF #InfrastructureForDevelopment #AfricaInvestmentForum #AfreximBank #Africa50 #AfDBatAIF #BADEA #TDBANK

At the current AIF Market Days, Senior Deal Originator Hulisani Makhuvha is engaging partners on a transformative regional transport corridor that is reshaping mobility, strengthening competitiveness and expanding inclusive growth across Southern and Central Africa. This initiative responds to a long-standing continental challenge by connecting landlocked economies to export gateways, reducing logistics costs and improving Africa’s ability to participate confidently in global supply chains. Upgraded into a high-capacity, fully engineered trade route, the corridor is already demonstrating practical impact. It shortens transit times, lowers the cost of doing business and opens new investment pathways across mining, agriculture, manufacturing and tourism. It shows what coordinated capital, regional partnership and infrastructure designed for long-term community benefit can deliver. With the Development Bank of Southern Africa serving as Mandated Lead Arranger, Huli Makhuvha highlights the DBSA’s catalytic role in mobilising private capital, reducing risk and enabling one of the most strategic trade arteries on the continent. Africa is ready to connect, ready to trade and ready to deliver bankable opportunities at scale. #AfricaIsReady #AIF2025 #DBSAImpact #InvestInAfrica #DBSAatAIF #InfrastructureForDevelopment #AfricaInvestmentForum #AfreximBank #Africa50 #AfDBatAIF #BADEA #TDBANK
