African Trade & Investment Development Insurance
African Trade & Investment Development Insurance (ATIDI) is a Kenya-based pan-African multilateral financial institution specialising in trade credit and political risk insurance. Established in 2001 and headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, the institution was founded by seven COMESA member states with technical and financial backing from the World Bank Group to address foreign direct investment deficits caused by perceived political risk. ATIDI provides a range of insurance products and guarantees — including political risk insurance, credit risk insurance, surety bonds, and energy-sector liquidity solutions, to companies, investors, commercial bank lenders, and sovereign governments across Africa. The organisation maintains physical offices in Nairobi, Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia, and operates across 24 African member states plus one non-African member state. ATIDI is also registered with the United Nations as a multilateral organisation.
