Clean water and sanitation infrastructure: the most underfunded and most impactful investment opportunity in Africa.
Africa faces a $30B annual water infrastructure financing gap. Over 400 million people lack access to safe drinking water. Yet water infrastructure — from treatment plants to irrigation networks — represents one of the most bankable and impact-rich investment categories on the continent.
AIP tracks water and sanitation projects across the full value chain — from source to tap. Our PETFEL™ framework is particularly well-suited to water PPPs, which involve complex multi-stakeholder structures, regulatory requirements, and long-term revenue visibility. With blended finance structures and DFI backing increasingly available for water assets, this sector is moving from underserved to investable at scale.
