ANNUAL REPORTS

2011 Future
Our mandate is to provide financial,
technical and other assistance to
achieve the objectives of the Bank
as provided for in section 3 of the
DBSA Act. The focus of our investment
activities is on infrastructure funding,
broadly defined, and we seek to act as
a catalyst to maximise private sector
access to opportunities in the provision
of public funding.
We aim to promote economic
development and growth, the
development of human resources,
institutional capacity building and
the support of regional development
projects. We also assist other initiatives
to achieve an integrated finance
system for development, and assist
provincial, national, regional and
international bodies in the public and
private sectors with the management
of specific funds.
Our strategic objectives are to:
• Catalyse, expand and enable the
delivery of basic social services
• Provide and build human and
institutional capacity
• Promote broad-based economic
growth (job creation, efficiency,
fixed capital formation and regional
integration)
• Engender sustainability
externally (environmental, social
and economic) and internally
(organisational)
While we focus on infrastructure
investment in these broad segments:
• Social development and integration:
Support the creation of sustainable
living environments and alleviate
basic services backlogs
• Economic development: Support the
growth of the economic base and
employment opportunities
• Institutional capacity building:
Strengthen the institutional capability
to deliver on national priorities
Our mission is to advance
development impact in the region by
expanding access to development
finance and effectively integrating
and implementing sustainable
development.
We are writing a new history in a
responsible and sustainable way,
integrating our mandate and business
with those of the industrial and regional
sectors we serve, in order to create a
future free of poverty and dependency.
We are writing
a new history
