The Fourth PIDA Week in 2018 will build on previous events to continue to engage stakeholders on the effective delivery of infrastructure on the continent focusing specifically on good governance and how it can specifically help to:

• Enable project preparation and implementation;

• Support resource mobilisation;

• Promote private sector confidence to invest in PIDA projects;

• Encourage integration of PIDA projects into national development plans.

  As part of the strategy of cross-linkages with PIDA stakeholders, the 2018 PIDA Week will incorporate the Africa Forum for Utility Regulators (AFUR) AGM and annual conference. The event will be hosted by the Government of Zimbabwe under the auspices of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA).
