They will sustain 67,835 jobs. Examples include I&M Bank Rwanda, Equity Bank Tanzania and the multiregional African Export and Import Bank.
Loans to microenterprises will sustain 57,500 jobs, 27% of which will be held by women and 44% by young people. Countries where these loans will make a difference include Mali, Senegal, Ethiopia and the Dominican Republic.
Microfinance Investment Vehicles will create 550 jobs in the financial sector, across 14 microfinance institutions, which will issue 402,000 loans to microenterprises. Twenty five percent of the final beneficiaries will be women.

Activities in 2017
A strong pipeline of projects
Total EIB investment in sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific, including Overseas Countries and Territories and the Republic of South Africa reached a financial record in 2017 of EUR 1.468 billion. This is almost double the EUR 765 million for 2016 and shows how a strong pipeline of approvals is helping projects on the ground.
Approvals fell from EUR 1.384 billion in 2016 to EUR 1.277 billion in 2017. Disbursements also fell from a record high of EUR 954 million in 2016 to EUR 642 million in 2017, which is a return to the typical levels in the years before 2015. The record-high disbursements in 2016 can be explained by a review of the portfolio of undisbursed balances. These were amended. The high levels of approvals and disbursements, compared to signatures in the previous year, can be seen in the chart below, as can the increased volume of signatures for 2017.
Signed operations can be split into different sources of funding, which are generally used for different purposes. Signatures under the ACP Investment Facility, the revolving fund that the EIB manages, reached EUR 716 million. A further EUR 670 million was invested from the Bank’s own resources. The Bank also invested EUR 66 million in the Republic of South Africa. Financing for South African operations comes from the European Union’s External Lending Mandate, managed by the EIB, where there is a separate window of EUR 462 million for projects in that country. There are challenges when lending in South Africa, including stringent requirements for local content, which do not match the EIB’s procurement guidelines, and the economy and politics are
