CDC's mission is to help solve the biggest global development challenges by investing patient, flexible capital to support private sector growth and innovation. Its goal is to help support the economic stability that will enable countries to leave poverty behind. Since 2012, CDC has made new investments only in Africa and South Asia, supporting long-term growth of businesses with a focus on fighting climate change, empowering women and creating new jobs and opportunities for millions of people. The ethos of investing in Africa and South Asia was reiterated in the 2017-2021 Strategic Framework, which details a range of investment strategies across our markets.
