A Desert Oasis: The Rebirth of Queen Alia International Airport, Jordan
A Desert Oasis: The Rebirth of Queen Alia International Airport, JordanA Desert Oasis: The Rebirth of Queen Alia International Airport, Jordan
Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) has been Jordan’s principal domestic and international airport since it was built in 1983, handling more than 97% of the country’s air traffic. But QAIA was built at a time when air traffic and passenger numbers were low and sustained growth of 7% per year since 2000 meant the airport could simply not meet the demand. So in 2007, the government looked to partner with the private sector to expand and rehabilitate the airport, including constructing a new 900,000-square foot terminal, and asked IFC for help.

Family businesses are the oldest and most prevalent form of business in the world. In many countries, family businesses represent up to 70 percent of the economy and play a big role in employment, growth, and quality of life.

A Desert Oasis: The Rebirth of Queen Alia International Airport, Jordan
- Duration: 8:44
- Updated: 16 Apr 2015
Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) has been Jordan’s principal domestic and international airport since it was built in 1983, handling more than 97% of the country’s air traffic. But QAIA was built at a time when air traffic and passenger numbers were low and sustained growth of 7% per year since 2000 meant the airport could simply not meet the demand. So in 2007, the government looked to partner with the private sector to expand and rehabilitate the airport, including constructing a new 900,000-square foot terminal, and asked IFC for help.

In 2009, Haiti’s national telecom company – Teleco – was rapidly losing market share and nearly $1.5 million a month in public funds. IFC helped the Government of Haiti and Viettel form a partnership that has turned around the fortunes of the company.
Today, the new company – Natcom Haiti – is turning a profit for both Viettel and the government and has gone from 75,000 customers to 1.8 million. Mikaelle Cartright is one of those customers.

Family Business Governance: Examples from Egypt and Colombia
- Duration: 12:11
- Updated: 24 Apr 2014
This is the story of two family businesses, in Colombia and Egypt, that show the people and policies behind their longevity and success. Family businesses are the oldest and most prevalent form of business in the world. In many countries, family businesses represent up to 70 percent of the economy and play a big role in employment, growth, and quality of life. But most family businesses ultimately fail: about 95 percent do not survive the third generation of ownership.
IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, provides investment and advisory support to clients around the world, including advice on corporate governance, the structures and processes by which companies are directed and controlled.

Boosting Poultry Productivity & Farmer Incomes in Nepal
- Duration: 3:23
- Updated: 12 Nov 2014
Demand for chicken is soaring in developing countries like Nepal, where 40 percent of the population is undernourished. But the $240 million poultry industry here is fragmented and dominated by small farmers. Historically, farm practices have been poor and productivity is low.
IFC set an ambitious goal for the region: To help farmers become more efficient and earn more. Thanks to funding from the UK and Norwegian governments and the Global Agriculture and Food Security Private Sector Window, IFC was able to team up with local feed producers and hatcheries.
Improving poultry feed quality, providing healthier chicks, and providing training to more than 4000 Nepali farmers, including 1,700 women.
In August, IFC and GAFSP announced a $3.8 million investment in Priobiotech, a local feed producer and one of the two companies which provided training to farmers.
Farmers in Nepal now have much improved access to higher quality feed and healthier chicks. More than half of the trained farmers were women, who reduced costs by 18 percent on average.

Reshaping Access to Finance for Small Business Sector in Sub-Saharan Africa
In Sub-Saharan Africa, the lack of access to finance is one of the biggest constraints to the growth of smaller businesses, job creation and economic growth. Leasing has proved to be a robust solution. Since it started in 2008, the Africa Leasing Facility program has trained more than 14,000 small-scale business owners, assisted in the passing of 16 legal, regulatory and tax laws, and mobilized investment in five leasing projects worth almost $27 million. This film, produced in partnership with SECO, highlights in greater detail how these results have been achieved and how they translate into development impact.

A Desert Oasis: The Rebirth of Queen Alia International Airport, Jordan
A Desert Oasis: The Rebirth of Queen Alia International Airport, Jordan
Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA) has been Jordan’s principal domestic and international airport since it was built in 1983, handling more than 97% of the country’s air traffic. But QAIA was built at a time when air traffic and passenger numbers were low and sustained growth of 7% per year since 2000 meant the airport could simply not meet the demand. So in 2007, the government looked to partner with the private sector to expand and rehabilitate the airport, including constructing a new 900,000-square foot terminal, and asked IFC for help.

Haitian Singer Uses Mobile Technology to Launch Career
In 2009, Haiti’s national telecom company – Teleco – was rapidly losing market share and nearly $1.5 million a month in public funds. IFC helped the Government of Haiti and Viettel form a partnership that has turned around the fortunes of the company. Today, the new company – Natcom Haiti – is turning a profit for both Viettel and the government and has gone from 75,000 customers to 1.8 million. Mikaelle Cartright is one of those customers.

Family Business Governance: Examples from Egypt and Colombia
Family Business Governance: Examples from Egypt and Colombia
This is the story of two family businesses, in Colombia and Egypt, that show the people and policies behind their longevity and success. Family businesses are the oldest and most prevalent form of business in the world. In many countries, family businesses represent up to 70 percent of the economy and play a big role in employment, growth, and quality of life. But most family businesses ultimately fail: about 95 percent do not survive the third generation of ownership. IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, provides investment and advisory support to clients around the world, including advice on corporate governance, the structures and processes by which companies are directed and controlled.
