The FIRST gate a DFI runs — ahead of E&S and economics. Per-asset jobs, government take, local content / in-country value-addition, and the additionality test (would this happen without a DFI?), mapped to the impact frameworks the institutions use: IFC AIMM, AfDB ADOA, U.S. DFC impact, EBRD transition. Revealed additionality — a DFI/ECA already in the structure — is the strongest signal; several high-impact assets score low because majors self-fund them.
The bold screen line on each card is an Afrimintel synthesis (Derived) of the sourced cells beneath it, not a separate datum.
Afrimintel's Editor-in-Chief holds two positions in the Great Lakes region: Honorary Consul of Rwanda in Mauritius, and Chairman of MUA Insurance Rwanda. Neither role involves mining, mineral assets, or any company appearing in this layer, and neither carries any interest in the outcome of any record in it. They are disclosed here because this layer carries records on jurisdictions to which those positions relate, which makes them material to a reader assessing those records. Coverage and treatment of these jurisdictions are on the same terms as every other jurisdiction; the positions constrain who Afrimintel transacts with, not what it publishes. See /methodology/independence/ §7. Independence Policy §7.
