UK State development finance institution British International Investment (BII) has announced that it is committing €20-million to the Meridiam Group’s TURF (The Urban Resilience Fund), which is dedicated to projects in sub-Saharan Africa. Meridiam is an independent investment public benefit and asset management group, focused on the development, financing and long-term management of sustainable public mobility, public services and low-carbon infrastructure. It is based in Paris, in France (hence the UK commitment being in euros, not sterling). TURF is focused on funding and supporting the design of climate-focussed urban infrastructure in sub-Saharan African countries. It seeks to make African urban public infrastructure more affordable and reliable, while improving safety and ensuring climate resilience.
