About InfraCo Africa
InfraCo seeks to fund and develop projects in sectors or geographies where the private sector would not otherwise work at such an early stage, seeking to exit its projects to private sector developers/financiers once project viability has been demonstrated, normally at or shortly before financial close. InfraCo will not compete directly withthe private sector but seeks to mobilise private sector involvement by bearing the time and cost risk of front end project development in order to mobilise private sector investment.
