The World Bank Group's Engagement in Djibouti

Since July 1, 2024, Djibouti has benefited from a unified World Bank Group representation. This structure enables effective coordination across the Group's institutions: the World Bank - through IDA (the International Development Association) - IFC (the International Finance Corporation), and MIGA (the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency).

The Group's engagement is guided by the 2022-2027 Country Partnership Framework (CPF), which supports Djibouti's national strategy, Vision 2035. It focuses on job creation, strengthening human capital, and boosting resilience to economic and climate shocks.

In Djibouti, the World Bank - through IDA - is a key partner for sustainable development. It focuses primarily on economic infrastructure, with major investments in energy, transport, and urban development to strengthen regional integration and connectivity. These projects create jobs, attract private investment, and enhance climate resilience. The World Bank also supports social initiatives in education, health, social protection, and youth employment, while backing institutional reforms.

IFC's strategy in Djibouti aims to support the country's economic transformation by promoting inclusive growth driven by the private sector and fostering the creation of quality jobs. Its interventions focus on addressing key constraints to private sector development.

Finally, MIGA currently has two active guarantees in Djibouti.

This brochure presents in detail the World Bank (IDA) portfolio, which includes 11 projects, 3 regional operations, and 3 trust funds (totaling approximately USD 501 million), as well as IFC and MIGA contributions in areas such as affordable housing, port logistics, financial sector development, and renewable energy -including support to the Ghoubet wind farm.
