Development Impact: a core value

AIPF has obtained a commitment from its anchor investor, profiled below. AIPF is in the process of conducting an investor roadshow as part of its capital raise. Contact us to find out more.

With this end in mind, the AIPF maintains an emphasis on the socio-economic impact and sustainability of the infrastructure projects it will unlock on the continent. This is reflected in the AIPF’s investment mandate. The necessity of infrastructure in the African context is driven by the need for sustained social upliftment and economic growth in societies across the continent, and its implementation impacts on the socio-economic landscape around a project.

The AIPF considers it critical to address socio-economic risks and opportunities on a local level in the early stages of project development. The development impact considerations of the AIPF specifically consider the social elements of globally recognised ESG criteria, focusing on the impact of its business on local communities and stakeholders, and the economic, social and environmental sustainability of its infrastructure project portfolio.

Throughout the project screening and selection process, the development impact of each project is assessed and opportunities for increasing socio-economic benefits are explored. Through this approach, the pipeline of fundable projects generated by the AIPF is an appealing destination for development finance institutions, socially responsible investors, impact investors, and donors.

A focus on development impact

encourages sustainable development practices throughout the infrastructure development lifecycle;

encourages blended funding and cooperation between different parties in the investment spectrum, as both socio-economic value and financial returns on the portfolio are prioritised; and

provides an opportunity for the private sector to generate more value for its portfolio of projects, for investors and for society at large.
