PIDG projects provide new or improved access to essential services such as energy, water, communications, transport and housing. We also consider how our investments create new jobs.
We focus on
Who will benefit, with emphasis on reaching the most underserved groups and women
The scale of impact, looking at how many people will benefit from the product or service
The depth of impact, considering the degree of change to individual lives
We prioritise investments that improve people’s resilience to climate shocks and change.
A focus on gender equality
The drive to create gender equitable access to, and control over, the benefits created by infrastructure is embedded into the fabric of everything that we do. Our 2023 Gender, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan integrates gender equity into all investments by increasing women’s participation, designing inclusive projects, and prioritising gender-lens investing. It sets measurable gender goals to track impact and fosters a gender-diverse workplace, aiming for lasting progress in gender equality.
PIDG is a member of the 2X Global community, an industry-wide platform comprised of fund managers, DFIs, pensions funds, philanthropic organisations, intermediaries and others operating with a strong gender lens in their businesses.
