Very good to see @InfracoAfrica, part of the @PIDGorg, team up with @BBOXX_HQ. It is these types of innovative finance solutions that can help us deliver on the mission to transform the lives of millions in the developing world and help reach the UN’s SDG7 – clean energy for all.
Scaling up mini-grids as a commercially viable infrastructure class, attracting private sector investment and demonstrating the value of a joined up approach to delivery of power, water, street lighting and appliance finance as a catalyst for rural economic development.
'Patient capital' provides the time and space needed for high-quality infrastructure projects to get off the ground. Read this @wef#Agenda series article co-authored by @PIDG companies @InfracoAfrica CEO Gilles Vaes and @InfraCoAsia CEO Allard Nooy:
Infrastructure projects have a long life cycle, so the choices we make today directly impact our future. As the world strives to hit net zero emissions by 2050, in line with the #ParisAgreement, the long-term implications of #infrastructure investments must be addressed.
In our latest #PIDGPulse episode, Marco Serena, Head of Development Impact at PIDG, and Emma-Lyn Horvath, Senior HSES Adviser at PIDG and @GuarantCo, discuss the dimensions that inform the PIDG approach to climate action.

Congratulations to the team at @InfraCoAfrica, part of the @PIDGorg! Expanding Acorn’s student housing offering will support Nairobi’s university students to achieve their ambition. And the expansion of local capital markets will help support similar infrastructure initiatives.
Congratulations to everyone at @PIDGorg Group and thank you for all that you have done in a very difficult and challenging year! It makes me very proud to be part of the Group and the journey we are on.
