Introducing AIPF
Our Vision
To stimulate economic activity and social development on the African continent by enabling infrastructure development.
Early stage project preparation is the most capital starved segment of the infrastructure preparation cycle. Therefore, the development of new bankable projects is significantly impaired and should thus be promoted. The AIPF has been established to plug the project preparation funding gap. We present an opportunity to invest in a pipeline of projects developed by a team of
professional service providers within an improved project preparation time. AIPF delivers a pipeline of fundable infrastructure projects on the African continent, distributed across a number of key sectors. This makes AIPF an attractive investment for funders wishing to invest in bankable infrastructure projects in Africa.

Achieving Development Impact
It is the vision of AIPF to stimulate economic activity and social development on the African continent by enabling infrastructure development.

This is defined by AIPF as its Development Impact.
AIPF prioritises Development Impact by:
