IFC Managing Director Makhtar Diop told Reuters the IFC was working with African countries to help match up entrepreneurs with urgently needed financing to support economic growth and job creation across the continent. The goal, he said, was to develop "homegrown innovative solutions" for Africa that could also be exported to the rest of the world. "Support for African entrepreneurship and digital transformation is essential to economic growth, job creation, and resilience on the continent and beyond."
