The session title 'Towards the launch of the High-Level Panel Investment Action Plan:  enhancing financing for national, and transboundary water projects under the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa’ 

The Organization for Economic Corporation and Development (OECD) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) will co-convene the 10th Roundtable on Financing Water from 22 – 23 November in Abidjan, in partnership with the government of the Netherlands, the World Water Council, and the World Bank. The Roundtable meeting is part of the international agenda on water and contributes to the debate on financing global public goods.

The 2023 Roundtable will focus on promoting a regional perspective on financing water challenges and opportunities; engaging public and private actors, in particular financial institutions and investors on solutions to scale up investments for water in Africa; engaging water-intensive sectors (such as agriculture, energy, urban development) so that they better measure and mitigate their impact on water resources and explore practical ways to deliver on commitments made at the UN 2023 Water Conference. 

AUDA-NEPAD, in collaboration with its partners, will hold a side event entitled ‘Towards the launch of the High-Level Panel Investment Action Plan:  enhancing financing for national, and transboundary water projects under the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa’. AUDA -NEPAD will shine a spotlight on the PIDA Water Portfolio and its enormous untapped investment potential. Be a part of the conversation that will shape the future of economic development in Africa.
