At Aninver Development Partners, we are pleased to announce our latest collaboration with the African Development Bank Group (AfDB), supporting the creation and operationalization of the African Education, Science, Technology & Innovation Fund (AESTIF).
This new fund will play a pivotal role in mobilizing resources to finance hashtag#innovation, higher hashtag#education, hashtag#TVET, hashtag#STEM programs, and hashtag#research & development across hashtag#Africa — sectors that are critical for fostering youth employment, entrepreneurship, and sustainable economic growth on the continent.
🔹 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲
Aninver has been entrusted to design and implement the fund’s core operational framework, governance structure, financial and reporting mechanisms, and investor outreach strategy. This will ensure AESTIF operates to the highest standards of transparency, compliance, and performance measurement, aligned with both AfDB’s requirements and global best practices for development finance.
🔹 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
This engagement builds on Aninver’s extensive track record of advising governments, multilateral institutions, and development finance institutions in setting up innovative investment vehicles across Africa. From education funds and infrastructure investment platforms to blended finance initiatives, we bring deep expertise in structuring vehicles that attract both public and private capital, ensuring sustainable impact.
🔹 𝗔 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
The operationalization of AESTIF reflects the urgency of addressing Africa’s underfunded education and innovation sectors, particularly in fragile states and low-income countries. With Africa’s youth population rapidly growing, initiatives like AESTIF are vital to equip the next generation with market-relevant skills and foster the innovation ecosystems required to drive long-term development.
We are proud to contribute to this transformative initiative and look forward to working closely with AfDB, African governments, and strategic investors to bring AESTIF to life and unlock the full potential of Africa’s youth.
