RfP – Fund Advisor

A Request for Proposals (‘RfP’) is being released by InfraCo Africa for the provision of a Fund Advisor to design a new green infrastructure Fund to be established with a view to listing and support InfraCo Africa’s ongoing participation in an FCDO-sponsored competition for its MOBILIST programme.
