Infrastructure: PIDA financing summit postponed


Issue 267 - 05 Dec 2013 | 1 minute read

The Nepad Agency, the planning and coordinating body of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development, announced on 3 December that the Dakar Financing Summit on Africa’s Infrastructure, which was to take place in Senegal on 13-14 December, had been “postponed to a later date”. This was “due to the many engagements of heads of state at this period of the year”. The conference was expected to gather African leaders and leading donors to add to the momentum being built behind the African Union/African Development Bank initiative and especially the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA), intended to develop some of the continent’s biggest energy, transport, information and communication technologies, and trans- boundary water resources projects.
