Africa50 will bring to the market much needed financing tools and services, mainly offered through its two sub-vehicles: Project Finance and Project Development.

As the continent’s largest infrastructure delivery and leading single-A rated vehicle, Africa50 will be able to take on and diffuse risk for investors. It will be groundbreaking in its design and structure, leveraging infrastructure-financing resources from a diverse set of sources. Through Africa50, the AfDB is seeking to attract investment from development institutions, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, private investors, and governments.

Africa50 is raising $10 billion USD to finance infrastructure projects across the continent. With a first closing set at $3 billion, Africa50 is currently undergoing its final structuring, establishment and fundraising stage.

The Institute for Infrastructure Studies is a non-profit foundation based in London and Doha that will help financial institutions, governments and sponsors of large, complex infrastructure programmes to appraise and manage the inherent risks associated with these assets at the development stage.

Until now, there has been no independent organisation focused exclusively on researching the problems of infrastructure project delivery, risk appraisal and funding in order to develop new practical methodologies.
