Lead Infrastructure Finance

Overview

The Infrastructure Fund (IF) announced by the President in September 2018 addresses the need for a dedicated blended financing facility for infrastructure programme projects. The aim of the IF is to transform public infrastructure financial provisioning using “blended” finance - combining capital from the public and private sectors and Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) / Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs). This will be dedicated to meeting the financing requirements for hybrid projects.

Mandate

The mandate of the Infrastructure Fund has been captured in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the National Treasury, Infrastructure South Africa (ISA), and the DBSA, entered into on 17 August 2020.

Role

The Lead Infrastructure Finance is responsible for providing financing and advisory solutions for infrastructure development.
