Large scale infrastructure projects such as transport, energy transmission, and water simply would not happen in emerging markets without agency support. This session takes a holistic view of critical infra prospects in emerging markets across the Africa, considering:

·       What do developers and manufacturers need most from ECAs and DFIs in critical infrastructure projects?

·       What differences have recent innovation in ECA products, such as longer tenors and untied financing, made to large scale critical infrastructure projects?

·       What creative solutions, including blended finance, could we use to consider Africa's infrastructure gap holistically? How do we coordinate multiple organisations and authorities to provide robust, sustainable infrastructure solutions? 

We invite all guests to join our relaxed roundtable session dedicated to celebrating women in export, project, and development finance
