AKDN’s development activities in Côte d'Ivoire range from a microfinance programme that features loans of CFA 150,000 (US$ 300) to a US$ 225 million dollar investment in the the country’s infrastructure. The latter investment, Azito, is the largest private sector power plant in Sub-Saharan Africa, providing over 40 percent of Côte d'Ivoire's electricity generation capacity. The microfinance programme extends loans primarily intended to improve agricultural productivity, acquire livestock and establish small enterprises in rural and urban areas.
