Schroders Capital and BlueOrchard have announced a USD 5 M investment into the African Infrastructure Investment Fund 4 (AIIF4) through the Green Earth Impact Fund (GEIF).

Jointly managed by Schroders Capital and BlueOrchard, GEIF operates as a fund of funds, providing capital to private equity funds prioritising positive climate impact. AIIF4, managed by African Infrastructure Investment Managers (AIIM), focuses on regional climate-related infrastructure investments.

The investment has been allocated to AIIF4 Climate Investment LP, a dedicated vehicle within the AIIF4 fund to accelerate climate solutions in infrastructure. With a strategic focus on South Africa, Morocco, and the broader sub-Saharan Africa region, the investment will target sectors such as renewable energy, green data centres, and temperature-controlled logistics.

This collaboration aligns with GEIF and AIIF4’s shared mission to expand clean energy supply, lower carbon emissions, and enhance sustainable food security in Africa. Leveraging AIIM’s extensive local networks and trusted partnerships, this initiative aims to deliver scalable climate solutions across the continent.
