Our mission is to leverage the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet.IFC has embarked on an ambitious new growth strategy (IFC 3.0) to stimulate more investment activity across emerging markets. This strategy aims to create new opportunities for private investments in riskier markets and sectors by proactively working "Upstream" or at the pre-investment stage (early in the project-development cycle) to create, deepen, and expand markets and design and develop potential investment projects.
