British International Investment (BII) Programme of Support in Africa, South Asia, Indo-Pacific & Carib (2015-2027)

IATI Identifier: GB-1-203444

Description

To enable BII to scale up its activity of investing and lending to support the building of businesses in developing countries, to create jobs and make a lasting difference to people’s lives in some of the world's poorest places. BII is FCDO’s main vehicle for investing in private companies in Africa, South Asia, Indo-Pacific and the Caribbean. BII encourages capital investments from other private investors by being a first mover, demonstrating to other investors that commercial returns are possible in these frontier markets, and by sharing risk and expertise. The additional equity from FCDO will enable BII to meet demand for capital in its target markets and allow BII to sustain a higher volume of more developmental investments across priority regions and business sectors
