In this episode recorded on September 15, 2026, we sit down with Dr. James Mworia (founding CEO, National Infrastructure Fund) to examine the architecture, governance, and mandate of Kenya’s newly established DFI. We explore NIF's SPV project finance structure, its private capital crowding-in target, the redeployment of privatisation proceeds into productive infrastructure, the bankability and risk allocation of priority projects like the JKIA expansion, and the potential for listed development infrastructure trusts (D-REITs) to recycle domestic capital.
