The overarching theme for PIDA Week 2016 is “Creating Jobs through Regional Infrastructure Development".

The 2nd PIDA Week will be a combination of plenary sessions on the theme, sector seminars, including exhibitions which aim among other things, to provide project owners and project sponsors from both public and private institutions an opportunity to interact and leverage financing for key projects. Additionally, statutory closed meetings under the Institutional Architecture for Infrastructure Development (IAIDA) will be held during the PIDA Week.  The Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA), the NEPAD IPPF and the Continental Business Network Council meetings will also be held during the Week. PIDA Week 2016 builds on the achievement of the inaugural PIDA Week of 2015.
