Africa Finance Corporation infrastructure financing

Overview

AFC Capital Partners has initiated several financial ventures to support African infrastructure development. In late August 2026, the organization launched the Infrastructure Climate-Resilient Fund Nigeria (ICRF Nigeria), a closed-end investment vehicle registered with Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission. This fund is part of a larger $750 million initiative using a blended capital model to mitigate risks for private investors, involving contributions from the Green Climate Fund and the European Investment Bank.

Following this, in September 2026, the Africa Finance Corporation established AFC Captive Insurance Company Ltd, a Bermuda-based subsidiary with up to $30 million in equity capital. This new entity is intended to enhance risk management and capital efficiency by providing coverage for loans extended by the AFC, reducing reliance on external commercial insurance markets.
