NEPAD-IPPF, a multi-donor Special Fund hosted by the African Development Bank (AfDB), supports African countries to prepare bankable regional infrastructure projects in energy, transport, ICT and trans-boundary water.  Current donors include Canada, Germany, the UK, Spain, Norway and Denmark.  

NEPAD-IPPF works to address the lack of investment-ready projects in Africa.  Its 4 core strategic objectives are informed by the new Strategic Business Plan (SBP), 2016-2020 and are, to:

• Increase the availability of viable well-prepared regional and continental infrastructure projects, by supporting project stakeholders to prepare high-quality projects; 
• Enhance collaboration among project stakeholders and project financiers to facilitate the identification and mobilisation of project implementation financing; 
• Enhance the financial sustainability of project preparation for regional infrastructure, by diversifying the sources and modalities of regional project preparation financing;
• Increase development impact of project preparation by mainstreaming climate change and adaptability; fragility and resilience; gender empowerment; and job creation and business linkages.

The Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Project Preparation and Development Facility (PPDF) aims to assist SADC to address the implementation of the SADC Regional Infrastructure Development Master Plan (RIDMP), which will promote and contribute to enhancing regional economic integration in the SADC Region.

The purpose of PPDF funding is to enhance sustainable economic growth and the delivery of key services affecting development in the SADC region, through addressing constraints to infrastructure development. The Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) has been appointed by the SADC Secretariat as the implementation agent and fund manager for the PPDF.  While the DBSA has responsibility for the administration, management and disbursement of PPDF funds, all financing decisions are taken by the SADC PPDF Steering Committee.
