African Development Bank - FranchisingAfDB - Franchising
Franchisors have a few opportunities to participate in AfDB funded projects. Borrowing country governments are largely responsible for these opportunities. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have emerged over the last decade as one of the best ways to foster development, fueled by insufficient investment, growing pressures on government budgets and a general concern about service provision by state enterprises and agencies. In order for more PPPs to emerge in Africa, countries need to improve the business environment. At present serious constraints exist in many countries. The AfDB is encouraging African countries to create the necessary legal and regulatory framework for PPPs; as well as facilitating networking and sharing of experience among regulatory agencies and other similar organizations. The Private Sector Department is a key player as lender and advisor to Regional Member Countries (RMCs) in supporting PPPs across The AfDB’s Areas of Focus. As such, most PPPs opportunities would be subject to the Rules and Regulations governing Private Sector Investments.
