Explore how capital can be mobilised to accelerate Africa’s infrastructure pipeline in this exclusive conversation with Femi Awofala, Chief Executive Officer of The African Catalyst.
As InfraConnect 4.0 convenes under the theme “Mobilising Capital: Accelerating Africa’s Infrastructure Pipeline,” this interview unpacks the real challenges behind Africa’s infrastructure deficit — moving beyond the financing gap to address the critical bankability gap.
Femi Awofala shares:
- Why The African Catalyst was founded
- The structural gaps limiting infrastructure investment in Africa
- How private capital can be unlocked at scale
- The role of capacity building, investment readiness, and ecosystem development
- A deep dive into the Early Stage Infrastructure Investment Readiness Programme (ESIIR)
This conversation is essential for:
✔️ Infrastructure investors
✔️ Project sponsors & developers
✔️ Policymakers & DFIs
✔️ Professionals in project finance & development
If you're looking to understand how Africa can move from concept to bankable infrastructure projects, this is a must-watch.
Key takeaway: Africa doesn’t lack capital — it lacks investment-ready projects. ESIIR is designed to change that.
