Harnessing Infrastructure Development in Africa (non-member)

ABOUT

Infrastructure development plays a crucial role in the economic growth and development of the African continent. Join us as our speakers aim to highlight the current challenges, opportunities, and future prospects of infrastructure development within the BRICS nations and Africa.

Key Discussion Points:

• Current Infrastructure Landscape: An overview of the existing infrastructure scenario in each BRICS country, including transportation, energy, telecommunications, and social infrastructure.
• Infrastructure Challenges: Identification and discussion of the common challenges faced by African nations in infrastructure development. This may include financing constraints, regulatory issues, lack of skilled labour, bureaucratic hurdles, and environmental considerations.
• Infrastructure Financing: Exploration of innovative financing models and mechanisms to support infrastructure development. This topic will cover public-private partnerships (PPPs), multilateral funding, foreign direct investment (FDI), and other avenues for attracting capital.
• Sustainable Infrastructure: Focus on sustainable and resilient infrastructure development. We can explore strategies for integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into infrastructure projects, promoting clean and renewable energy sources, and adopting green construction practices.
