At the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group (WBG), you’ll join a diverse, global community working across cultures, disciplines, and borders to address the world’s most pressing development challenges. With 1.2 billion young people reaching working age in the decade ahead, the challenge of job creation has never been greater. Through partnerships across 145 countries and more than 182 offices worldwide, we work with governments, private sector, development partners and other stakeholders to invest in people, strengthen markets, and deliver scalable, data-driven solutions that generate more and better jobs and improve lives.

The IFC Equity Mobilization Department (AMC) within the Treasury & Syndications Vice-President Unit (VPU) mobilizes and manages capital for private equity investments in emerging markets. Established in 2009, AMC provides investors with access to IFC’s emerging markets investment pipeline, expanding the supply of long-term capital to these markets. This enhances IFC’s development goals and generates profits for investors by leveraging IFC’s global reach, standards, investment approach, and track record.

AMC has raised US $10.2 billion through 16 investment funds that invest across various sectors, geographies, and strategies. For more information on AMC’s business, please visit www.ifcamc.org.
