Which PE funds have emerging / frontier market strategies?

In the wake of Abraaj, and with other MFs having pulled emerging markets strategies in the past couple years (e.g., KKR's dissolution of its Africa fund), which funds still have EM / FM strategies or funds in place? What is you opinion of such strategies? Does anyone here have experience working for such a fund?

Thanks, @saconsult3" ! This is great. Actually I have an opportunity to go work for an EM team of a MF, but it would be located outside the US, in one of the markets in which they invest. While I'm mostly game for it, it is still a relative risk (what if I'm never able to make it back to NY/London or a similar "real" city?). I'd love to hear your (and others') thoughts on such a move.
