CNFA fosters true development partnerships. Because we take our commitment to sustainable economic growth seriously, we involve our stakeholders—whether they are donors, partners or beneficiaries—in key steps in our program design and implementation.

CNFA’s efforts to partner with the private sector succeed because we treat the companies as true partners. We recognize that each market has a unique set of conditions and players and that a successful market development strategy must build on them. We also recognize that enterprises can and will only contribute meaningfully to projects that will serve their business development interests. To ensure that the market development strategy fully considers the needs and capacities of those enterprises, CNFA initiates its private-sector partnerships during the project design phase. The enterprises appreciate this approach and contribute ideas and resources. As a result, development projects are built on sustainable commercial activities that will continue after the projects end and CNFA withdraws.
