EU-Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund

Access to transport and communication services, water and energy is at the heart of reducing poverty and achieving sustainable economic growth. Europe and Africa are working together to bridge Africa’s infrastructure deficit. The EU-Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund, an instrument of the EU-Africa Partnership on Infrastructure, supports this objective. The Fund promotes regional infrastructure schemes to foster wider African development.

The EU-Africa Partnership on Infrastructure is a cornerstone of the EU Strategy for Africa. The partnership aims to increase European and African investment in infrastructure and related services. It identifies and addresses the missing links in the infrastructure chain, harmonises policies and develops cross-border and regional infrastructure.
