Recognizing that public budgets alone are insufficient to fund these deficits, development finance institutions and governments are increasingly looking to private capital to close the infrastructure investment gap. One of the most significant challenges to attracting private finance is the lack of bankable investment opportunities. GIF tackles head-on this challenge by providing end-to-end advisory services to client governments and our multilateral development bank partners.

Our global portfolio supports design, preparation, and structuring across economic infrastructure – energy, water and sanitation, transport, municipal solid waste, and information and communications technology (ICT) –  that reflect thematic areas of climate-smart and connectivity and integration, as well as social infrastructures such as healthcare and education. At each stage of the project preparation lifecycle, the GIF provides continuity and line-of-sight from “idea to investment” and “concept to closing."

We are a center of excellence in sustainable infrastructure project preparation. Our unique business model goes beyond traditional project preparation facilities by coupling funding with an agile, hands-on team of technical experts, offered to each client government and multilateral development bank partner, complementing and building in-house capabilities, addressing capacity gaps, and enhancing quality and standards. From project concept through to financial closing, we provide comprehensive design, appraisal, structuring, and transaction support to bring sustainable, quality infrastructure projects to market, that attract private investment where it's needed most.
