What they say about us
“PDBs play a major role in the global economy. They have immense financial power — $23.2 trillion in assets and up to $1.4 trillion in annual investments."
"The European Commission supports PDBs globally through the PDB Platform and has extensive experience on mobilization of capital for food systems through commercial banks, pension funds, and private equity fund."
"The importance of coalitions is to mobilize funds and create investment opportunities, where there is a greater convergence in financing models to support development goals."
“On the climate, public development banks must make themselves heard on the global stage”
"PDBs have a mandate to the poorest and the most vulnerable. AFD has been supporting PDBs for many years, actually for over 80 years since its creation."
“Nutrition and sustainability - especially agroecology - must remain at the heart of agricultural transformation. Collaboration through initiatives such as the Agri-PDB Platform can help drive impactful and inclusive change.”
“Through our collaboration with the Agri-PDB Platform, we have launched several initiatives and training sessions focused on tools that help us identify and finance projects aligned with agroecological principles. This partnership also allows us to strengthen synergies with IFAD and the IGREENFIN project, in which we are actively involved. Together, we are working on the development and implementation of guaranteed mechanisms tailored to cooperatives and Small Medium Entreprises (SMEs), helping to unlock sustainable finance in the agricultural sector.”
“At FINAGRO, we are proud to have a strategic target in sustainability, we are looking to apply environmental criteria to 100% of our loans by 2026. We are exploring international methodologies to achieve this and are currently developing a monitoring system to ensure our activities have the intended impact. In this regard, the knowledge and experiences shared through the Agri PDB Platform have been incredibly valuable. Our team is fully committed to strengthening our monitoring systems. We have ambitious targets to measure, and the Platform has helped us understand how other countries are approaching this challenge. These lessons are critical for us at this stage of our strategy."
Our partners
Agri-PDBs partner with farmers' organizations, research institutions, development organizations, central banks, and SMEs to promote sustainable agriculture and rural development. They work together to boost smallholder farmers' economic growth, improve food security, and increase food security.
