MOTIVATION

National and international development finance institutions (DFIs) are specialized

development banks or subsidiaries set up to support private sector development in
developing countries.
DFIs play a very important role in economic development of most developing
countries. In Ghana they have an additional role of addressing socio-economic
development and transformation problems that were seen mostly to be created by
bad governance and corrupt systems.
So, you will see typical DFIs seeking to address issues like unemployment,
redistribution of income, private sector development and manufacturing sector
growth.
However, it is not clear whether these DFI’s are having a positive impact on the
socio-economic transformation as they are expected to, since we as a nation seems
to be in the same or messes year in , year out, unemployment rates are always high,
poor infrastructure, rood systems poor, health acre delivery, poor, high standard of
living, inflations is always on the rise , so one will wonder with the enormous
budgets and investments of these DFIs each year in the country whether we are
really reaping their benefits as far as economic growth and transformation is
concerned.
So, the aim of this research is actually to understand the role of development
finance institutions (DFI) in supporting the objectives of national development
plans, particularly those emphasizing the sustainable
Economic development of the nation and to investigate whether actually their
investments have any significant impact on the country’s socio-economic
development and transformation.

ROLES
1. DFIs that provide finance to the private sector under concessional terms,
seeking a profit.
2. The analysis of DFI funding is set within the broader context of the role
played by financial flows, such as commercial finance and
 3. foreign aid (i.e. Official Development Assistance, ODA), in supporting
national development objectives

BACKGROUND

development banks or subsidiaries set up to support private sector development in
developing countries.
They are usually majority-owned by national governments and source their capital
from national or international development funds or benefit from government
guarantees.
This ensures their creditworthiness, which enables them to raise large amounts of
money on international capital markets and provide financing on

WHY EXPLORATORY DESIGN

An exploratory study is a valuable tool for explaining what is happening and to
seek new insights, and assessing an occurrence. The researcher adopted this type of
research because it helped query what is already in existence, describe fresh
insights, and raise questions that facilitated the research assessment from a new
viewpoint.

WHY INTERVIEWS AND QUETIONAIRE

The design has the advantage of producing a good number of responses from the
respondents

WHY POPULATION
