Africa Prosperity Dialogues (APD 2025) will focus on unearthing innovative ways through which African heads of state, business leaders, and the private sector, can combine forces to bridge the continent\u2019s infrastructure deficit and shore up the levels of intra-Africa trade.<\/p>\n

The APD 2025 will be held in Accra, Ghana from Thursday, 30 January to Saturday, 1 February 2025, on the theme; \u201cDelivering Africa\u2019s Prosperity Through Infrastructure: Invest, Integrate, Connect,\u201d and it is expected to attract over one thousand participants from across the continent.<\/p>\n

Africa\u2019s future<\/strong><\/p>\n

Addressing participants at the launch of the Africa Prosperity Dialogues 2025 at the secretariat of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), Africa Trade House, in Accra on Monday, 13 May 2024, Executive Chairman of Africa Prosperity Network (APN), organisers of the Africa Prosperity Dialogues (APD) Gabby Asare Otchere Darko, said investing in continent\u2019s infrastructure space is pivotal to achieving the vision set out in the AfCFTA agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the continent\u2019s potential, its infrastructure gap serves as a more potent blockade. The success of AfCFTA hinges on key enablers, such as energy, water, R&D, ICT, transport & logistics, and the digital economy. This calls for substantial investments in infrastructure, that will yield even greater rewards, enabling our efforts to create a larger pool of good jobs with good pay.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe stand at a critical juncture in history, where unlocking prosperity, now more than ever, depends on prioritising investment in infrastructure, connecting our people through infrastructure, and integrating our economies to create and spread opportunities and prosperity to every community,\u201d Mr Otchere-Darko said in his opening statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is where we must now direct our collaborative efforts if we are serious about allowing Africans to do business across Africa and for our young people, who will build Africa, to see their future in Africa. At APN, we envision an Africa where every bridge built serves as a flyover to opportunity, and every road paved leads to prosperity.<\/p>\n

\u201c[We intend] to use the next APDs to show what is being done, what has to be done, and what we must commit to having done in the areas of infrastructure to facilitate the free movement of people, goods, and services. Our future as a people rests heavily on our ability to reimagine how to fund and link infrastructural developments and our boldness to get on with it\u201d Otchere-Darko added.<\/p>\n

Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, Ghana\u2019s Minister for Finance in his remarks at the launch ceremony pointed out that \u201can estimated 546 million people are now living in poverty, and 149 million \u201cnon- poor\u201d Africans are at risk of falling into it.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Dr Amin Adam said the UNECA estimates that the annual Sustainable Development Goal financing gap for developing countries has increased by $1.7 trillion\u201d and these indicators demonstrate the fact that the continent\u2019s work is cut out for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenges we face, from infrastructure deficits to economic disparities, require collective action and partnership on a continental scale. Therefore, the theme of next year\u2019s Africa Prosperity Dialogues, \u201cDelivering Africa\u2019s Prosperity through Infrastructure: Invest. Integrate. Connect.\u201d resonates deeply with Ghana\u2019s vision for a more interconnected and prosperous Africa and AU agenda 2063.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica\u2019s infrastructure deficit impedes economic growth and development. Inadequate networks of road, rail, air, and waterways make transport costs in Africa among the highest in the world. The African Development Bank estimates that closing the continent\u2019s infrastructure gap will require a minimum of $130 billion annually,\u201d Mohammed Amin Adam, remarked.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, deficient infrastructure in today\u2019s Africa has been found to sap growth by as much as 2% a year. Quite frankly, we have a continental problem that requires a continental solution. As such, we must redouble our efforts to invest in critical infrastructure projects, including transportation, energy, and digital connectivity, to unlock Africa\u2019s full potential for trade and investment,\u201d Ghana\u2019s Finance Minister further remarked.<\/p>\n

The financing gap<\/strong><\/p>\n

The president for Private Sector, Infrastructure & Industrialization at the African Development Bank Mr Solomon Quaynor, in his key partner message at the launch of APD 2025 indicated that to address the African continent\u2019s infrastructure shortfall, the continent needs about 130 to 170 billion dollars a year with a financing gap of 70 to a 110 billion dollars.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis financing gap is increased as we aim to ensure that all infrastructure today is climate change resilient or compliant. So, closing this gap remains the single important step we can take to structurally boost our economic development, make it more inclusive and competitive, and attain the Africa we want,\u201d Mr Quaynor said.<\/p>\n

Funding resources<\/strong><\/p>\n

The United Nations (UN) Resident Coordinator for Ghana, Charles Abani on his part observed that Africa must find the funding resources to be able to bridge the 170 billion dollar financing gap that currently is the reality of the continent of Africa.<\/p>\n

The African continent according to Charles Abani, must prioritise projects that have a high impact on economic growth, job creation, and poverty reduction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must leverage technology and innovation to drive efficiency, sustainability, and importantly, inclusivity in our infrastructure development and lastly, we must bring everybody on board. If you want to go fast, they say, go alone, if you want to go far, go together,\u201d Mr Abani said.<\/p>\n

Digital infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n

High Commissioner of Rwanda to Ghana, Her Excellency, Rosemary Mbabazi in her statement noted that African countries must prioritise the development of digital infrastructure to boost digital trade on the continent.<\/p>\n

Ms Mbabazi observed that while it is important to build all the other infrastructure needs of all the continent, digital infrastructure if developed, can serve as a critical launch pad to propel trade in Africa.<\/p>\n

She pointed out that to achieve the levels of digital trade required, several key elements should be given attention. First, is the regulatory environment, second, is connectivity that will ensure widespread access to high-speed internet, particularly in rural areas.<\/p>\n

Third, digital Identity infrastructure, fourth, digital payments, and lastly, establishing a robust cyber security environment on the continent that will protect businesses and their customers against cyber threats.<\/p>\n

Panel discussion<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of the launch, a three-member panel conversation on the theme; \u201cThe Infrastructure Gab \u2013 Addressing the Bane of Africans Doing Business within Africa,\u201d was held.<\/p>\n

The panel comprised Mr Moh Damush, Group CEO of Telecel, Mrs Marufatu Abiola Bawuah, Executive Director\/CEO Africa for United Bank for Africa, and Mr Kofi Osafo-Marfo, Director General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), Ghana, and Mr John Peter Amewu, Ghana\u2019s Minister for Railway Development.<\/p>\n

The panel of experts in their submissions pointed out that to make progress in the continent\u2019s quest to build its infrastructure, there is a need for a joint effort on the part of all stakeholders such as government, businesses, the private sector, and the investor community, to bridge the infrastructure gap.<\/p>\n
