Opec Fund director-general Abdulhamid Alkhalifa, said in the statement, “We are pleased to support private sector development in East Africa, which goes to the core of our mandate.”

EADB Director General, Ms Vivienne Yeda, said that the funds will be deployed to “promote enterprises that generate employment opportunities, social economic development and consequently promote regional integration.”
