The Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) is an innovative infrastructure development and finance organisation delivering pioneering infrastructure in the world’s poorest and most fragile countries. InfraCo Africa is part of the PIDG and is managed as a private company although funded by governments in the UK (FCDO), the Netherlands (DGIS) and Switzerland (SECO).
InfraCo Africa mobilises investment into sub-Saharan infrastructure projects:
- investing directly into early-stage projects which need the financial commitment and support that InfraCo Africa can bring;
- providing equity to close a financing gap and start construction; and
- investing into innovative solutions that need support to scale-up or pilot new products or enter new markets.
InfraCo Africa’s support reduces risks and costs and ensures that projects are developed to the highest standards: from a concept, to a financeable investment opportunity, to a proven operating business. InfraCo Africa’s projects will improve living standards and power economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa.
