Conclusion • The UN SDGs 2030, AU’s Agenda 2063, and AfDB High-Fives set bold targets that are relevant for Africa’s development. • Thus DFIs agenda should focus on agriculture and agro- processing, infrastructure development, industrialization, and regional integration which offer an opportunity for DFIs to enhance collaboration towards agreed Development goals. • Trade and Customs will play a vital role in achieving the Agenda for DFIs: enhance agriculture, enhance infrastructure, Integrate Africa & Industrialize Africa. • Above all these, mobilization of innovative sources of income for SDGs through various financial instruments is key implementation of SDGs. • To this end, DFIs should work together through working groups.
