LOCATION:Guinea to Zambia, Tanzania to Djibouti: Bridging Commercial Capital into Africa’s Least Developed Markets - Room A (Level 0) 
DESCRIPTION:Of the world's 44 Least Developed Countries (LDCs), 32 are in Africa. Since 1971, only 3 African nations have graduated from LDC list. Meeting the UN's goal of 15 graduations by 2031 demands urgent capital mobilisation. This panel examines how SDC and TLG have catalyzed $50m+ in commercial investment into SMEs across LDCs and Conflict-Affected Situations in the last 12 months, using a combination of blended finance, private credit, and bank-layered-loans to unlock what aid alone cannot.
