This latest IJGlobal podcast revives the “uncovered” series that delves into bigger picture market intelligence for infrastructure and energy.
The focus of this podcast turns to Africa and sees IJGlobal content director Angus Leslie Melville sit down for a chat with Roland Janssens – managing director of the Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund (EIF).
The Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund was established as the first company within the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), a multi-donor organisation with members from 7 countries and World Bank Group.
EIF is managed by Ninety One, and it provides long-term debt to deliver infrastructure projects across Africa. It operates across 10 sectors in 20 African countries and typically lends between $10 million and $65 million over tenors of up to 15 years, with an option to extend up to 20 years.
Conversation with Roland spans a number of projects across Africa that the EIF has supported, as well as an insight on fundraising which, earlier this year, reached $294 million of debt facilities, more than half of its $500 million target to be achieved in 2025.
