In the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, the Infrastructure and Natural Resource (INR) department at IFC encompasses several areas including power, water, telecom, roads and other areas. As a key target region for IFC, INR is expected to ramp up activities, including advisory programs and engagements. Current programs cut across power, water, energy access and Cities, among other areas and there is a concerted effort underway to ramp up, particularly in the area of upstream. The Africa INR Upstream Strategy represents a new approach, driven by demand and focuses on the proactive development of a proprietary investment pipeline. It is a central pillar of INR’s efforts in the region, as there is a demonstrated needed to develop a pipeline for investment. In some cases, this upstream has been down by creating bankable private sector infrastructure opportunities that we call “Scaling”—focusing not on single asset development, but on a holistic approach that creates a pipeline of infrastructure projects.
Cities are large contributors to economic development and quality of life.
