AFRIMINTEL · DFI Shortlist & Mandate Routing
The 59-asset screen, as one decision
Every COI-clean development-stage asset, run through all seven DFI gates, collapsed to a single cross-gate verdict — Tier A (gates cleared, bankable), B (near-term / conditional), C (early or low-additionality) — and routed to the development banks whose published mandate the asset fits on geography and sector. Within Tier A, an OPEN GAP tag marks the genuine origination opportunities (bankable, no main DFI debt committed yet); a FINANCED / closing tag marks DFI-validated assets already at or near financial close — proof points, not open cheques. The routing tells you which institution to take an asset to.
How to read this. Tier is an Afrimintel cross-gate
synthesis (Derived): study-stage × financing-gap × jurisdiction-risk, read off the seven gate feeds — not a separate datum and not a rating, recommendation or underwriting.
Mandate-fit is a published-mandate screening signal — geography and sector read from each bank's own mandate —
not a claim that any institution is engaged, interested, or has determined eligibility. It screens geography and sector only —
not ownership structure (e.g. IFC's private-sector focus may exclude a state-JV like Colluli or a state-participated asset like Dasa) or country-programme status, and
no sanctions / OFAC screening has been performed — DFC and other US/Western DFIs require it before any commitment, so a DFC route here is a mandate-fit signal only, not a cleared path. Each card now carries a Derived
integrity screening priority (STANDARD / ELEVATED / HIGH) with the ownership/UBO and jurisdiction drivers — a steer for where to focus diligence, not a clearance; the lists themselves are run via the
screening framework and
integrity gate. DFC and EBRD are the discriminating routes (critical-minerals / nine-country green-transition); the continent-wide multilaterals fit nearly all African mining.
