Infrastructure is fundamental to Africa’s growth, serving as a crucial bridge between current challenges and future opportunities. Resilient and inclusive infrastructure—spanning energy, transportation, water, and ICT—is essential for promoting sustainable development across the continent.
With a yearly investment need estimated at $170 billion, it is a critical time for investors to partner with PIDA to close the infrastructure gap in Africa.
We provide de-risked investment opportunities, with our Priority Action Plan (PAP 2), which identifies 69 high-priority projects across sectors including energy, transportation, ICT, and transboundary water management—offering solid, viable investment options.


By working together, we are creating systems that are not only resilient enough to withstand challenges but also flexible enough to adapt—creating pathways for shared prosperity throughout Africa.
This year’s 8th PIDA Week, themed ‘Fostering Resilient and Inclusive Infrastructure for Africa’s Sustainable Growth,’ reaffirms our commitment to driving transformative infrastructure development across the continent.
With a focus on innovative financing, regional integration, and sustainable solutions in key sectors such as energy, transport, water, and ICT, PIDA Week is more than just an event. It serves as a platform for leaders, experts, and partners—like you—to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and forge agreements that will influence the future of infrastructure in Africa.
I encourage you to seize this incredible opportunity to connect, cultivate meaningful collaborations, and discover investment possibilities. Through high-level sessions, engaging thematic discussions, and an exciting showcase of innovative projects, we aim to accelerate Africa’s infrastructure agenda.
Join us as we set the groundwork for a sustainable future for Africa—together, we can create a more resilient, inclusive, and prosperous continent.
