About the Africa Investment Forum (AIF): AIF is a marketplace for project developers, investors, borrowers, lenders, policymakers and public and private sector investors to encourage investment in Africa.

In order to attract funding for African projects, the African Development Bank launched the inaugural Africa Investment Forum in 2018.

The forum is an innovative, multi-stakeholder transactional marketplace conceived by the African Development Bank, aimed at raising capital, advancing projects to the bankable stage and accelerating financial closure of deals.

AIF inaugural edition was launched in partnership with Africa50, Afrexim Bank, the Trade Development Bank, the Development Bank of South Africa, the Islamic Development Bank, the Africa Finance Corporation, and the European Investment Bank.
