TR, from the excerpt you posted earlier: "Agency representatives including major development banks, multilateral development organizations, urban leaders and design professionals were in attendance."

This may give insight into my equipment financing question.

What is a Development Bank - a national or regional financial institution designed to provide medium- and long-term capital for productive investment, often accompanied by technical assistance, in poor countries. They may make loans for specific national or regional projects to private or public bodies or may operate in conjunction with other financial institutions. One of the main activities of development banks has been the recognition and promotion of private investment opportunities. Although the efforts of the majority of development banks are directed toward the industrial sector, some are also concerned with agriculture.
