The event was witnessed by CEOs from EDFI member institutions, underscoring the great benefits anticipated to flow from this collaborative effort.</p><p><strong>Strengthening Global Development Finance</strong></p><p>Set for a one-year period, the affiliate partnerships will aim to bolster the global reach of US, Canadian and European Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) to enhance their collective contribution in support of sustainable development and global stability, in line with the public mandates they each serve. They also will seek to boost chances for better mobilisation of private finance for development, improved operational efficiency, and alignment with sustainable finance regulatory frameworks.</p><blockquote><p>Emphasising the significance of these new affiliate partnerships, <strong>Luuk Zonneveld </strong>said, "We share a common vision of development finance. By working together with FinDev Canada and DFC, we collectively strengthen our contribution to sustainable development and global stability.”</p></blockquote><blockquote><p><strong>DFC CEO Scott Nathan</strong> commented: “Today's announcement demonstrates DFC's commitment to cooperation with like-minded peer institutions. By leveraging our strengths in pursuit of shared objectives, DFC and its partners can effectively multiply our impact and reach.”</p></blockquote><blockquote><p><strong>FinDev Canadas Kerr</strong> added: “As DFIs, we all share a common goal of working with and through the private sector to drive development in emerging markets and developing economies. These agreements encourage us to learn from one another and share best practices, and identify opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
