What does the bridge that Italy is building between Europe and Africa actually look like in practice? In this episode of Making a Difference, Paolo Lombardo—Director of International Development Cooperation at Cassa Depositi e Prestiti—sheds light on it. The Mattei Plan is not a speech, it’s a structured financial package, with a multi-billion-euro allocation and clear priorities, including the green transition and job creation. This episode unpacks the strategic alliances put in place, notably with the African Development Bank, to support the economic transformation of the African continent with 21st-century solutions.
