Advancing U.S. Strategic Goals and Driving Development Impact
In the four years since its establishment, DFC has accelerated efforts to partner with the private sector in financing solutions to the world’s most critical challenges, from investing in global infrastructure projects to mitigating the devastating effects of climate change,
strengthening food security, and fostering global health.
