HARITH ELEVATES WITH INTENT AS LEAD SPONSOR FOR PE CONFERENCE 2025 We're excited to welcome returning sponsor, Harith, back to the SAVCA PE Conference – this time, as a Lead Sponsor! We look forward to continuing our partnership to promote and elevate the private capital sector. Harith was founded in 2006 with the initial mandate to manage the $630 million Pan African Infrastructure Development Fund (PAIDF I), and subsequently the $435 million PAIDF II. Through its successful management of the two funds, the establishment of partnership funds in Namibia and Nigeria, as well as the recent establishment of the Harith-led infrastructure investment vehicle, Harith Infraco, the company recently achieved its transition from a fund-manager-based business to an infrastructure investment holding company.
