This is a co-produced Development Finance and CDC podcast. Over the course of this 10 minute episode, we take a closer look at organisations that many people aren't that familiar with: development finance institutions (DFIs). We hear about what DFIs do and what more they could be doing in future.

We hear from Nanno Kleiterp, the Chairman of the European Development Finance Institutions, Mussa Chayenda who works for a business that has received DFI investment, and we also speak to the academic Sir Paul Collier from the International Growth Centre.
