The IF aims to transform public infrastructure financing by using blended finance—combining capital from the public and private sectors, as well as Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs).

This fund is dedicated to meeting the financing requirements for hybrid projects. The mandate of the Infrastructure Fund is outlined in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the National Treasury, Infrastructure South Africa (ISA), and the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), signed on 17 August.

Role:

The Head of Infrastructure Finance will be responsible for providing comprehensive financing and advisory solutions for infrastructure development.

This leader will guide the IF towards long-term financial sustainability through viable infrastructure projects and partnerships.
