Agricultural Fast Track Fund (AFT Fund)

Compiled from public sources

The Agriculture Fast Track Fund (AFT Fund) is a specialised project preparation facility and multi-donor trust fund managed by the African Development Bank (AfDB). Launched in May 2013, the AFT Fund provides grant funding to cover early-stage, front-end project development costs for infrastructure investments across the agricultural value chain. The facility covers non-recurrent feasibility studies, environmental and social impact assessments, engineering designs, and financial modelling to advance agricultural projects into bankable, investment-ready opportunities. Operating with initial donor commitments of approximately USD 24 million to USD 27 million, the AFT Fund supports public-private partnerships, agribusiness SMEs, and infrastructure project sponsors in selected sub-Saharan African countries.
