2026 Agenda Sessions
Unlocking Energy and Mineral Corridors: Financing Infrastructure for Regional Integration
This session aims to move beyond the usual high-level dialogues on Africa’s annual infrastructure gaps, towards concrete public and private partnerships that will advance our energy and mineral corridors from planning to financing and construction. The primary purpose is to transform Africa's energy and mineral potential into bankable infrastructure projects that drive regional integration and industrialization. Coordinated investment in the development of these corridors will enable the realisation of the full value of mineral resources, support regional trade and encourage broader economic transformation. The session further examines how public sector initiatives establish the enabling environments necessary to unlock diverse capital flows—including private, blended, and innovative financing—for transnational or cross border mineral infrastructure corridors.
