Enabling Early Stage Infrastructure Investing

An Ecosystem Roundtable focused on the Early Stage Infrastructure Investing

The Enabling Early Stage Infrastructure Investing (EESII) is an Ecosystem Roundtable focused on the Opportunities, Issues and Constraints affecting Early Stage Investments in Large Scale Projects in Africa

Rationale for EESII

Its estimated that Africa’s annual infrastructure investments needs are $108 billion per year, far beyond the reach of public sector financing alone.

With such significant investment needs, the role of the private sector in helping to close the financing gap is well established. However, the lack of a strong pipeline of well-prepared, bankable projects is widely recognized as one of the key constraints to unlocking private sector finance for infrastructure development in Africa.

Enabling Early Stage Infrastructure Investing (EESII) was curated as an Ecosystem Roundtable focused on catalyzing and accelerating  Early Stage Investments in Infrastructure Projects in Africa. It would hold as a quarterly roundtable session.
