ABOUT SCOPE PROJECTS INVESTMENTS IMPACT WORKING TOGETHER NEWS AND INSIGHTS PIDG A challenge and an opportunity Infrastructure development is capital intensive. Africa’s annual infrastructure funding needs have been estimated to exceed US$120bn, a cost that cannot be met solely by the public sector, therefore requiring foreign direct investment. However, early-stage projects and innovative infrastructure solutions struggle to mobilise sufficient private sector investment as markets, resource, regulatory frameworks and commerciality might be unproven. InfraCo Africa can help We provide funding and expertise to infrastructure projects, enabling them to grow from an initial concept to a bankable investment opportunity to a viable operating business. We can work with projects at their earliest stage, either directly where they already have an experienced lead developer, or we can provide on-the-ground project development expertise through our own teams. We can also provide equity to fund the construction of pioneering projects or for innovative infrastructure businesses that need to scale-up or demonstrate commercial viability to attract further investment. When do we invest? Our involvement reduces the risks and costs associated with project development, ensures international standards are met, and facilitates private sector investment.
