The private sector is critically important to create jobs and improve the livelihoods of people throughout the continent. The World Bank leverages expertise and resources across the institution, including IFC and MIGA, to accelerate sustainable and inclusive economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa by strengthening the region’s private sector. It harnesses a range of instruments, including public-private partnerships (PPPs), multi-donor facilities, and capital investment pipelines to drive development by tapping into the region’s local capital.regions:Africa,subject:private sector development,subject:small and medium-sized enterprises and jobs,organization:International Finance Corporation (IFC),organization:Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA),subject:power and electricity sector,subject:jobs and development,subject:information and communication technologies,subject:gender,country:Congo, Republic of,country:Ethiopia,subject:poverty,subject:investment climate,country:Guinea-Bissau,country:Kenya,country:Lesotho,country:South Africa,country:Senegal,country:Tanzania,subject:public-private partnerships,subject:renewable energy,subject:energy-access,country:Congo, Democratic Republic of,subject:trade,country:Botswana,country:Gabon,country:Guinea,country:Madagascar,country:Namibia,subject:infrastructure and growth,country:Cameroon,country:Nigeria,subject:climate finance,country:Cote-dIvoire,country:Mozambique,subject:human capital for growthEnglishAfricaMobilizing the Private Sector to Drive Development in AfricaPrivate Sector Development,Small And Medium-sized Enterprises And Jobs,Power And Electricity Sector,Jobs And Development,Information And Communication Technologies,Gender,Poverty,Investment Climate,Public-private Partnerships,Renewable Energy,Energy-access,Trade,Infrastructure And Growth,Climate Finance,Human Capital For GrowthP157734,P146319,P146469,P127303,P160806,P178176,P143302,P121019International Finance Corporation (IFC),Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA)/content/wb-home/en/projects-operations/results/2023/12/01/mobilizing-the-private-sector-to-drive-development-in-africa2023-12-01T11:20:00ZtrueAfricacq5Congo, Republic of,Ethiopia,Guinea-Bissau,Kenya,Lesotho,South Africa,Senegal,Tanzania,Congo, Democratic Republic of,Botswana,Gabon,Guinea,Madagascar,Namibia,Cameroon,Nigeria,Cote-dIvoire,MozambiqueCG,ET,GW,KE,LS,ZA,SN,TZ,CD,BW,GA,GN,MG,NA,CM,NG,CI,MZResults 34,203 direct jobs in the region.> 19,639 gigawatt hours (GWh) in expanded power generation.> 56 million new subscribers to telecom services.Between 2014 and 2023, over 19,000 jobs were created in industrial parks in Ethiopia, 66 percent of them for young women.Since 2018, 3,612 new formal firms have been established in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), 65 percent owned by women and 35 percent by young entrepreneurs, creating 9,360 jobs.]]> 34,203 direct jobs in the region.> 19,639 gigawatt hours (GWh) in expanded power generation.> 56 million new subscribers to telecom services.Between 2014 and 2023, over 19,000 jobs were created in industrial parks in Ethiopia, 66 percent of them for young women.Since 2018, 3,612 new formal firms have been established in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), 65 percent owned by women and 35 percent by young entrepreneurs, creating 9,360 jobs.]]>ResultsAfrica, AFRIFC,IDA,MIGAMmM0MDFlYmZhMDAzMTBhYmI5MzVkZDI3Zjk5YTg0NmYzODkzNDFjYQ2http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2023/06/16/world-bank-to-support-inclusive-resilient-and-low-carbon-growth-in-afe-botswanaBotswanaThe World Bank Board of Directors approved a Development Policy Loan (DPL) to the Government of Botswana, aimed at supporting reforms to stimulate inclusive, resilient and low-carbon growth following the combined impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global food, energy and climate shocks.regions:Africa,country:BotswanaEnglishAfricaWorld Bank to Support Inclusive, Resilient and Low-Carbon Growth in Botswana/content/wb-home/en/news/press-release/2023/06/16/world-bank-to-support-inclusive-resilient-and-low-carbon-growth-in-afe-botswana2023-06-16T10:23:00ZAfricacq5BotswanaBWPress Release WASHINGTON, June 16, 2023 — The World Bank Board of Directors approved a Development Policy Loan (DPL) to the Government of Botswana, aimed at supporting reforms to stimulate inclusive, resilient and low-carbon growth following the combined impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global food, energy and climate shocks.

Based in Gaborone, Mr. Wang will lead the World Bank’s engagement in Botswana that includes an active lending portfolio, a vibrant knowledge partnership and a dynamic dialogue with the government and a wide range of stakeholders. A Chinese national, Mr. Wang brings over fifteen years of experience working at the World Bank across Africa, East Asia, and corporate and policy functions at the headquarters in Washington DC. Most recently, he has been the coordinator for the China, Korea and Mongolia country program, one of the largest lending and analytical programs of the World Bank. “I am excited to start my tenure in Botswana,” said Mr. Wang. “I look forward to bringing my experience in supporting middle-income countries’ transition towards high-income status to support Botswana’s efforts in achieving its aspirations.” The World Bank’s engagement in Botswana is closely aligned with the government’s National Development Plans, and the Botswana Vision 2036 goals. The upcoming World Bank Group Country Partnership Framework for Botswana will outline the World Bank’s engagement in Botswana in the coming years. Botswana, a member of the World Bank since 1968, graduated from the International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank’s concessional financing window, in 1974. It restarted borrowing from the World Bank in 2008, and the World Bank’s country office in Gaborone opened in 2009.

The Programmatic Economic Resilience and Green Recovery Development Policy Loan (DPL) will support the implementation of Botswana’s Economic Recovery and Transformation Plan and is designed to strengthen COVID-19 pandemic relief while bolstering resilience to future shocks. This DPL is also designed to support reforms to strengthen private sector development and promote green recovery. It is the first-ever World Bank budget support operation for Botswana and the first of two planned operations. “The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a great burden on the country’s economy, its people, and firms. With this operation, the World Bank will support the government’s reforms to ensure social spending reaches the poorest and assists Batswana who are most affected by the Covid-19,” says World Bank Country Director for Eswatini, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and South Africa, Marie Francoise Marie-Nelly. “This operation will also support reforms to attract private sector investments, contribute to diversification of exports, and increase job opportunities towards a green economy”. The operation provides both financial and technical support for government reforms to implement a Single Social Registry and to improve targeting of social spending on the most vulnerable while strengthening systems for future shocks. It will also help strengthen the business environment for increased SME-led job creation and economic diversification through improved access to finance for individuals and small and micro enterprises (SMEs). Furthermore, the program will help Botswana to build the foundations for sustainable, “green” growth by supporting reforms to increase production of renewable energy by independent power producers, promoting and regulating rooftop solar energy generation, and embedding climate change considerations in environmental assessments. DPLs are used by the World Bank to support a country’s policy and institutional reform agenda to help accelerate inclusive growth and poverty reduction. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a real gross domestic product (GDP) contraction of 7.9 percent in Botswana in 2020 - the largest in the country’s history. This has also led to a depletion of existing fiscal buffers and has constrained revenue collection, reduced Government’s capacity and resources needed to accelerate the implementation of structural reforms and threatened to reverse progress in poverty reduction. World Bank Group COVID-19 Response Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Bank Group has committed over $125 billion to fight the health, economic, and social impacts of the pandemic, the fastest and largest crisis response in its history. The financing is helping more than 100 countries strengthen pandemic preparedness, protect the poor and jobs, and jump start a climate-friendly recovery. The Bank is also providing $12 billion to help low- and middle-income countries purchase and distribute COVID-19 vaccines, tests, and treatments.
