InfraCo Africa is a publicly funded, privately managed company which develops infrastructure projects in least developed countries, low income countries, fragile or conflict-affected states in sub-Saharan Africa. InfraCo Africa catalyses financing for infrastructure projects that enable economic development but would otherwise not attract investors. InfraCo Africa assumes the risks and costs of early stage project development, using its experience to mobilise private sector investment and successfully bring projects to financial close. AADL, as a developer of InfraCo Africa, will source and deliver projects which fit InfraCo Africa’s mandate.

InfraCo Africa is funded by the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG). PIDG, a multi-donor organisation, is committed to improving access to infrastructure, boosting economic growth and reducing poverty by facilitating private sector investment into developing country infrastructure projects. Through a group of subsidiary companies, PIDG offers specialised financing and project development expertise to address market gaps and barriers throughout the project cycle. Together, these companies are designed to get infrastructure initiatives off the ground in countries which would otherwise struggle to attract investment.

Current donors include: the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGIS), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Irish Aid, KfW Entwicklungsbank (KfW) and the Australian Department for Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
