The Emerging Africa & Asia Infrastructure Fund (EAAIF) mobilises capital from public and private sources to lend to businesses creating, improving or expanding infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia. We provide long-term debt on commercial terms to infrastructure projects, particularly in frontier markets where conventional lenders are often averse to the risks involved. EAAIF lends between US$10 million and US$65 million to infrastructure businesses mainly owned, managed and operated by private sector companies. Established in 2002, the fund has to date supported over 70 developments bringing modern infrastructure to Africa, including in renewable and conventional energy, telecommunications and digital, water storage and supply, in transport and in manufacturing key infrastructure components. EAAIF is a Private Infrastructure Development Group company.
The Fund engages with businesses with skilled management teams committed to high standards of corporate behaviour. All the projects we support must have clear potential to drive economic growth and deliver tangible impact.
EAAIF is funded by the governments of the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Switzerland, and Sweden. It raises its debt capital from public and private sources, including Allianz, the global insurance and financial services company; Standard Chartered Bank; the African Development Bank; the German development finance institution, KFW, and FMO, the Dutch development bank.
The Fund is managed on a day-to-day basis by Ninety One. Ninety One brings deep knowledge of financial markets, the sectors EAAIF is focussed on and the economies and business cultures of the many countries EAAIF operates in.
