WFDP has officially launched its first office in the Republic of India, established in Goa as a strategic hub for advancing India–Africa cooperation.

This expansion reflects WFDP’s commitment to strengthening South–South cooperation and facilitating structured, policy-aligned economic partnerships between regions with shared development priorities. The Goa office will serve as a focal point for responsible investment, institutional dialogue, and development planning support linking Indian and African partners.

India’s growing role in global development cooperation and emerging markets makes it a natural partner at this stage of WFDP’s institutional growth. Establishing a presence in Goa enhances coordination, strengthens stakeholder engagement, and supports measurable development outcomes across regions.
