grant Background

About the Funding Agency

AICS - the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation - is one of key innovations established by the Italian law on international cooperation (Law No. 125/2014). The Agency began operating in January 2016, with the aim of aligning Italy with its principal European and global partners in the endeavor of development. Its basic model reflects that used in the main European countries, and it must comply with the demand for more professional and innovative forms of cooperation, involving the methodological flexibility necessary in a continuously evolving scenario.

The Agency headquarters are in Rome. AICS runs another base in Florence and 20 field offices worldwide for assessing local needs, implementing development initiatives, monitoring results and building partnerships on the ground. According to the law, the Agency’s mission is to "perform technical and operational activities associated with the examination, development, financing, management and control of the cooperation initiatives".

South Africa

South Africa possesses one of the most developed infrastructure systems in Africa, including extensive transport networks, ports, energy assets and financial markets. However, maintenance backlogs, electricity supply constraints and logistics bottlenecks have weighed on growth in recent years. Reform of state-owned enterprises, expansion of renewable energy procurement and increased private participation in infrastructure are central to restoring efficiency, strengthening competitiveness and supporting long-term economic expansion.
