Projects also include a $40 million equity investment in Africa Renewable Energy Fund II; a $5 million loan portfolio guarantee to promote sustainable agriculture in the DRC; and many more. In Angola, the DFC spearheaded the construction of the Luanda Medical Center, improving access to affordable and quality healthcare in the country’s capital.
In his role as Africa Investment Advisor, Flewelling boasts 15 years of experience in infrastructure project preparation, political risk insurance and project finance in Africa and spearheads investment advisory and business development throughout the continent. This expertise will generate new perspectives on financing Angolan oil and gas projects at the event this October.
