Project Description

 Eastcastle Infrastructure DRC SARLU (“Eastcastle DRC” or the “Company”) is a subsidiary of Eastcastle Infrastructure Limited (“Eastcastle Infrastructure”), which was established in 2020 as a platform company to own and operate shared telecom tower infrastructure in the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”) and Nigeria. Eastcastle Infrastructure and Eastcastle DRC are existing IFC clients, with environmental and social (E&S) performance assessed as satisfactory.

IFC subsequently disclosed an ESRS in connection with a further US$30 million debt facility provided to Eastcastle DRC in 2023 (https://disclosures.ifc.org/project-detail/SII/46563/eastcastle-debt).
