Our solutions

One group, multiple solutions.

We provide financing solutions and development expertise for infrastructure projects, bridging capital and capacity gaps in communities where they are most urgently needed.
At PIDG, we de-risk projects financially through technical assistance, equity, debt, and credit solutions. Our investments reduce financial risk to the level where commercial and private sector investors willingly deploy the far larger sums of capital required for infrastructure. In this way, we unlock latent capital to fund sustainable and impactful projects.

Bridging the gap with the right solution

PIDG supports throughout the project life cycle and across the capital structure.

PIDG’s solutions support projects in overcoming financial, technical and socio-environmental challenges. Co-investing with our partners, we use concessional capital to catalyse blended finance opportunities for commercial and private investors. In parallel, PIDG’s implementation, safety and impact teams raise standards and practices within the project team.  Safety for all involved in our projects, gender equality and climate considerations are at the very core of what we do.  

PIDG’s financial solutions include: 

  • Debt solutions for investing in projects promoting market transformation 
  • Guarantees for local banks and financial institutions enabling greater investment in their private sector 

Capital Mobilisation

Our solutions mobilise local and international capital to enable sustainable infrastructure develop with speed and scale.

We act as a catalyst, mobilising blended finance to flow to where it is needed. By deploying concessional capital in a way that addresses project risk, we enable domestic and international investors deploy many multiples of that capital into infrastructure projects in Africa and Asia. 

Since our founding in 2002, we have  

  • Deployed USD 1.9bn in official development assistance 
  • Which has been deployed and recycled into USD 5.2bn in investment commitments.  
  • These have led to USD 40bn in investment in PIDG projects, with almost half of that amount coming from the private sector.  

Working throughout the project lifecycle, we have developed sustainable projects, built local capacity and transformed markets, creating a deep and lasting impact.
