Africa50 is an infrastructure investment platform that contributes to Africa's growth by developing and investing in bankable projects, catalyzing public sector capital and mobilizing private sector funding with differentiated financial returns and impact.

The ADF was established in 1972 and is administered by the African Development Bank (AfDB). It comprises 29 contributing countries and benefits 38 countries, of which nearly half are classified as fragile or conflict-affected states. The ADF has invested US$ 45bn since it became operational in 1974.

The African Water Facility (AWF) is the primary water instrument in Africa that supports & facilitates resources mobilisation to meet the huge investment gap for water infrastructure development. An initiative of the African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW), the AWF is hosted and managed by the African Development Bank (AfDB).

Established in 2004, the AWF assists African countries to address the increasing investment need for the development and management of water resources in Africa, towards meeting the goals and targets of the Africa Water Vision (AWV) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The AWF is a demand-driven, African-led project preparation facility that is focused on the funding of investment planning and preparation projects, with the aim of mobilising additional financing to meet Africa’s water infrastructure needs. 

Created in 2007, the aim of the EU-Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund (EU-AITF) is to promote increased investment in infrastructure projects in Sub-Saharan Africa – both in projects with a regional impact or national projects that support the Sustainable Energy For All (SE4ALL) objectives.  

The EU-AITF combines long-term investments from development finance institutions (loans, risk capital, etc) with grant monies to gain financial and qualitative leverage as well as project sustainability.  EU-AITF donor contributions stem from the European Commission and from thirteen European Union member states.

Established in 1999 as a joint initiative of the governments of Japan and the United Kingdom, the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) is a multi-donor technical assistance facility that is financed by 11 multilateral and bilateral donors. Working closely with and housed inside the World Bank Group, PPIAF is a catalyst for increasing private sector participation in emerging markets, enabling the public sector to attract private sector participation and investment in infrastructure.  PPIAF’s mission is to help eliminate poverty and increase shared prosperity in developing countries by facilitating private sector involvement in infrastructure.
