For this edition of the annual meeting, ODB and the ADFIAP leadership have chosen the theme, “DFI’s Role in National Development” to highlight the various programs and undertakings of DFIs in the development of entrepreneurship, infrastructure, technology, and initiatives for climate action.

As in the past, the annual gathering aims to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas and sharing of knowledge which are more opportune and relevant at this time when the sustainable development goals (SDGs) are in place. While DFIs that will be represented in Muscat come from different countries and operate under different economic settings, DFIs share commonalities in the concepts, principles and practice of development finance.
