Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA)

Last week, the #DBSA's was awash with vibrant colours, lush flowers, and an atmosphere brimming with celebration and inspiration. We came together to honour the incredible women who are the heartbeat of our daily operations. Our esteemed guest, Cathy Mohlahlana, guided the event with grace, while Communications, Marketing, and Events Head Soneni Phiri set the tone with a powerful message on the importance of gender mainstreaming and intentional action across Africa. Highlights included: Sebenzile Matsebula: The visionary founder of Motswako Office Systems shared her remarkable journey of overcoming polio and becoming a paraplegic. Her story was a beacon of perseverance and the triumph of self-belief. Sonia Mac Donald : Our ICT Project Manager delivered a heartfelt message on mental health, urging kindness and support for those in need. Her words resonated deeply, echoing Princess Diana’s call for random acts of kindness. Doris Mmapheko Matlejoane : The founder of The Image Firm captivated us with her workshop on personal style and self-expression, inspiring everyone to embrace their unique fashion identity and inner beauty. #DBSA #WomenOfStrength #CelebrateWomen #Inspiration #Empowerment

"Women are the advantage of any economy. The inclusion of women in economic activity is not only imperative, but it is urgent," #DBSA CEO, Boitumelo Mosako. This #WomensMonth we're connecting with powerhouse female leaders throughout our business to spotlight & celebrate women empowerment across sectors on the African continent. #Women #AfriCAN #FemaleEmpowerment #GenderEquality #WomensMonth

As we navigate a global landscape marked by slow economic recovery, inflation, and geopolitical tensions, the #DBSA is proud to report that over the past financial year, the Bank has demonstrated exceptional performance and resilience. In South Africa, the economic outlook remains subdued due to ongoing challenges such as energy security, logistical constraints, and inflation. The delays in implementing necessary structural reforms to address high unemployment, crime, and inequality are also concerning. Additionally, we are focused on tackling the pressures on municipal revenue collections and governance issues.

Last week, 22 August 2024 at the DBSA campus, officials from UNICEF and DBSA gathered to extend their existing strategic partnership framework agreement.  This agreement is to include the joint design of a Climate Facility for Children (CF4C) in the Southern African region. The DBSA, an accredited entity of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and UNICEF, a key delivery partner in Africa, aim to deepen their collaboration and secure new funding opportunities from the GCF. Dr Muhammed Sayed, Climate Change Specialist, detailed, "Securing climate funds is challenging, but this partnership with UNICEF will create a more accessible pipeline for the bank in low emission and climate resilient social infrastructure and services in our region." This extension of the partnership  framework will support the DBSA’s project preparation and financing efforts, bolstering its climate finance initiatives and expanding its funding pipeline. #UNICEF #Collaboration #Climate #ClimateChange #DBSA #TogetherWeCan

The Early Care foundation in partnership with Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) have been conducting assessments across 7 provinces to improve quality and compliance in the ECD sector , We would like to thank DBSA with their continued support in improving and upskilling the ECD sector.

Reflecting on an Incredible DBSA Market Day!

The day transitioned into a dynamic panel discussion featuring our client-facing Group Executives diving deep into our strategic intent and the synergy across our divisions. It was fantastic to engage with such a diverse audience, including shareholders, potential investors, government agencies, DFIs, employees, media, financial analysts, and the general public.
