The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the European Union (EU) are reportedly working together to increase investment opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa. The EBRD is planning to open its first office in Nigeria, which may be part of a larger effort to invest in the region, with some reports suggesting a target of significant investment in Nigeria. The details and scope of the EBRD's involvement in Africa, as well as the EU's role, are still emerging.
