2nd East Africa Infrastructure Project Finance Conference
The 2nd East Africa Infrastructure Project Finance Conference was to be held on 19-20th March 2020 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya but was put on hold due to a ban on international forums and conferences by the Government of Kenya due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Themed “Efficient project structuring for sustainable infrastructure financing in Africa”, the Conference was intended to build on the highlights of the 1st edition and had attracted more than 200 delegates before the ban.
The main focus of the conference was energy, transport and the water and sanitation sectors. More than 40 speakers from more than 15 countries had confirmed participation in the Conference. The new date will be announced as soon as the Covid-19 pandemic is controlled.
