Unique proposition• Geographic: 55% of projects are in Fragile

Conflicted Affected States (FCAS).

• Technical: open to new technologies given the rapid pace of change especially in the renewable energy space.

• Financial: providing financing support when commercial funding is unavailable or insufficient.

• Taking early-stage risk in projects and frontier markets and develop bankable projects, when the risk is the highest.

• Attracting further investment from the private sector to build and operate projects.

• Building local capacity and developing local capital markets and investor confidence.

• Creating lasting and sustainable developmental impact on the markets and the communities.

PIDG

• Over $3.4bn of funding in the last 16 years. Each $1 of PIDG funding has mobilised $23, of which $17 from the private sector.

• Unique ‘blended finance’ approach to crowd in private capital investment in infrastructure projects in low-income countries.

• PIDG’s six companies work across the full project life cycle and works across the capital structure.

• Work in sub-Saharan Africa and south and south-east Asia.

PIDG strategic focus on infrastructure, which is critical to the achievement of the SDGs

InfraCo Asia provides responsible leadership in bridging the infrastructure gap in South and South East

Asia. Through early stage project development capital and expertise, InfraCo Asia is a catalyst for the

private sector to invest in sustainable infrastructure projects in South and South East Asia.

What We Do Funds Early Stage, High Risk

Institutional investors compete forprojects in the later phases, shunningearly-stage development due to thehigher risk involved.

Unlocking funding (of just 2%-10%of project cost) to developingpipeline and early-stage projectswould accelerate growth in theindustry.

InfraCo Asia bridges the critical gapby funding high-risk developmentcosts to catalyse private sectorinvestment in the industry.

Blended Cost of CapitalRisk versus return

• Blended Finance has emerged as a catalyst to incentivize private capital flows and accelerate development impact in emerging economies.

• Blended Finance approach has leveraged a limited amount of development finance and public capital to reduce the uncertainty and risks that private sector is unwilling to take while investing in underserved markets

Co-Development Program How it WorksHow We Work

• InfraCo Asia provides early stage risk capital, typically capped at 50% of development costs. Third party developers take a majority or 50% stake and undertakes on-the-ground project development activity.

• InfraCo Asia provides project development and financing expertise, along with corporate governance oversight that helps bring projects from development stage to financial close and implementation stage.

• InfraCo Asia maintains board positions and representations in management committee for corporate governance.

• InfraCo Asia aims to exit from projects when the project is sufficiently de-risked typically at financial close or later with positive returns on its investments.

How We Work

InfraCo Asia applies a consistent and disciplined approach to project screening

Projects deliver development benefits for local communities and meet social and environmental best practice

Development Impact

Projects where private sector developers are unwilling or unable to take on the upfront costs and risks on their own

Additionality

Sustainable projects attract private investment and ensure a return on the sale of InfraCo Asia's ownership rights

Commercial Viability

Social and Economic Benefit

Complement, Not Compete with Private Sector

With DFAT support, PIDG/InfraCo Asia plans to expand to the Pacific Island Countries

24

• In 2019, Government of Australia established the Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIFFP) to fund high priority infrastructure in the Pacific and Timor Leste.

• AIFPP is operational from July 2019 and managed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) with the focus on core economic infrastructure such as energy, transport, water and telecommunications.

• DFAT is considering PIDG as one of the delivery partners under the AIFFP, and InfraCo Asia as the lead implementing company from PIDG*

• InfraCo Asia has undertaken an in-country mission in close cooperation with the DFAT Offices in the Pacific Island Countries (PIC), and prepared a Business Plan for the PIC including a forecasted pipeline of projects, identification of key stakeholders and a budget for funding early stage infrastructure project development activities

*DFAT’s engagement of PIDG on the AIFFP is subject to approval by the Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Vietnam

Page 34: Catalyzing Private Capital for the SDGs

Financing Need for Water Supply in Vietnam

▪ Annually US$2.7 billion investment is needed in water supply and sanitation projects to meet the growing needs of Vietnam’s population.

▪ The Government of Vietnam is seeking increased investment from the private sector in both urban and rural water supply and sanitation.

▪ So far, few public utilities have been able to access commercial financing. Critical obstacles - weak public-private partnership contracting and management. Absence of regulator, absence of commercially viable tariff.

Community Water & Gender MainstreamingWater & Gender

40

➢ Women are most often the users, providers, and managers of water in rural households and are the guardians of household hygiene.

➢ If a water system breaks down, women, not men, will most likely be the ones most affected, for they may have to travel further for water or use other means to meet the household’s water and sanitation needs

➢ Women have a strong incentive to acquire and maintain improved, conveniently located water facilities, since they often spend more time collecting water. Hence, women and girls tend to benefit most when water quality and quantity improves.

➢ They tend to take shorter trips carrying heavy containers, they may have more time for income-generating activities, and they are able to spend more time in school.

Indonesia Priority RegionIndonesia Portfolio

▪ InfraCo Asia has undertaken an analysis to determine which of the Indonesian provinces should be focus for PIDG funding, based on the extent to which they lack access to energy, sanitation and water, and on their infant mortality rate as an indicator of poverty and lack of access to basic services.

▪ The analysis was then further supplemented at PIDG by also reference to two additional measures – GDP per capita and the Human Development Index. The Human Development Index (HDI) score is made up of a combination of scores on life expectancy at birth, expected years of schooling, mean years of school, and GNI per capita.

▪ The following 10 Provinces fall under “least developed” category and so we ranked these provinces as priority region for our funding support:

1. West Nusa Tenggara2. Gorontalo3. West Sulawesi4. East Nusa Tenggara5. Maluku6. Papua7. Central Sulawesi8. North Maluku9. West Papua10. West Kalimantan

• The remaining 23 Provinces fall under ‘Middle Income’ category.
