Funding approach

Blended, and project by project

Badimo Ke Bao seeks a blended funding approach combining commercial investment for revenue-generating assets, grant or concessionary funding for social programmes, public-sector partnerships for enabling infrastructure, and specialist development finance for major long-term projects.

No investor should be asked to fund the portfolio as a single undifferentiated transaction.

Each project will carry its own investment memorandum, financial model, risk assessment, approvals and measurable outcomes.

Commercial investment

For revenue-generating assets such as mining logistics and retail development.

Grant & concessionary

For social programmes including food security and learning centres.

Public-sector partnership

For enabling infrastructure, approvals and service coordination.

Development finance

For major long-term projects: housing, retail and health infrastructure.
