Reaping the full potential of Africa\u2019s ongoing continental integration agenda requires more investment in infrastructure development in line with the objectives of the African Union\u2019s 2021-2030 Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA). Investment into African infrastructure has been sluggish despite the huge needs. This may be explained by a combination of higher perceived risks, limited knowledge of investment and financing opportunities, and a limited number of projects reaching the bankable stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As part of the dialogues in the framework of the Accelerating and Scaling-up Quality Infrastructure Investment in Africa (ASQIIA) program jointly carried out by ACET\/AUDA-NEPAD\/OECD-DEV, this high-level ministerial dialogue will discuss the needs and most suitable instruments to sustain financing infrastructure projection, the pursuit of the African Union\u2019s 2021-2030 Programme for Infrastructure Development (PIDA) objectives, and the actions agreed in the 2nd Dakar Summit on the Financing of Infrastructure in Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Organiser: <\/strong><strong>AUDA-NEPAD \/ OECD<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Moderator: <\/strong>Mrs. Ragnhei\u00f0ur El\u00edn \u00c1rnad\u00f3ttir, Director, OECD Development Centre.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Speakers:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">E.
