The focus of this latest IJGlobal podcast – Infra Dig – turns once again to Africa, this time for a longer-than-normal episode centred on the activity of a key organisation driving investments into infrastructure across the continent.  

Anas Charafi – executive director at the Alliance for Green Infrastructure in Africa (AGIA) which is managed by Africa50 – joins IJGlobal editorial director Angus Leslie Melville for a fireside chat.  

With Africa50 entering its second decade of operations – and surpassing $1.4 billion in assets under management – Anas talks about AGIA’s strategy to meet the Africa’s $100 billion infrastructure funding gap.  

Anas takes the listener on a tour of his organisation’s activity, and shines a light on the impact it is having to deliver much-needed infrastructure on the ground.
