23-24 October 2025

Luanda, Angola

The African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD) and African Union Commission (AUC) in collaboration with Government of the Republic of Angola will host Africa’s biggest Infrastructure Financing Summit from 23–24 October 2025 in Luanda, Republic of Angola.

Following the momentum of previous editions, including the 2023 Dakar Infrastructure Financing Summit, this year’s gathering is part of the broader continental effort to unlock investments and partnerships in support of the African Union’s Agenda 2063 infrastructure aspirations under the framework of Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA).

The Summit comes at a critical time, as Africa faces an annual infrastructure financing gap exceeding $100 billion and gears up to mobilise the $1.3 trillion required to implement the Continental Power Systems Master Plan (CMP) for an African Single Electricity Market by 2040.PIDA alone requires $16 billion annually to deliver transformative, cross-border projects that deliver the continent’s industrial, trade, and energy ambitions by 2030.

As current Chairperson of the African Union, H.E. João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço, President of the Republic of Angola, has placed infrastructure financing at the heart of his continental agenda.
