Portuguese Development Finance Institution (SOFID)

Overview

Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) are specialised development organisations that are usually majority owned by national governments. DFIs invest in private sector projects in low and middle-income countries to promote job creation and sustainable economic growth. They apply stringent investment criteria aimed at safeguarding financial sustainability, transparency, and environmental and social accountability.

SOFID is geared to act in any developing and emerging country but focuses specifically on the following regions: Africa (Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, St. Tome and Principe, South Africa, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia), Asia (China, India and East Timor), and the Americas (Brazil and Venezuela).
