The Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) is southern Africa's premier infrastructure development finance institution.
The DBSA envisions an empowered and integrated southern African region free of poverty, inequity and dependency. Towards this end, the DBSA seeks to be a leading change agent for socio-economic development and economic integration in southern Africa, and a strategic development partner to the wider African region south of the Sahara.
Established in 1983 by the government of the Republic of South Africa, the DBSA is one of five existing development finance institutions in South Africa and has a mandate to accelerate sustainable socio-economic development in the region by funding physical, social and economic infrastructure. In doing so, the DBSA endorses and promotes human resource development and institutional capacity-building.
The DBSA finances and sponsors programmes and projects formulated to address the social, economic and environmental needs of the people of southern Africa in improving their quality of life. The Bank adheres to the principles of sustainable development.
A recent transformation at the Bank saw the institution moving away from being solely focused on development finance and becoming a key national development institution having a threefold role as financier, advisor and partner.
