Africa’s economic transformation and regional integration agenda rely heavily on the development of efficient, resilient, and interconnected logistics infrastructure. From multimodal transport corridors to inland dry ports and warehousing systems, logistics infrastructure is essential to facilitating trade, reducing the cost of doing business, and enhancing supply chain efficiency across the continent.
Despite its strategic importance, Africa’s logistics infrastructure remains underdeveloped and fragmented, with financing gaps estimated to be in the tens of billions of dollars annually.
Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) have a critical role to play in bridging these gaps — through catalytic financing, de-risking mechanisms, project preparation, and capacity support.
This training program is designed to equip DFI professionals with the technical knowledge, practical tools, and strategic insight required to finance and support logistics infrastructure development in Africa. Through a mix of theory, case-based learning, and interactive group work, participants will explore the unique role of DFIs in unlocking sustainable logistics infrastructure investments aligned with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), Agenda 2063, and the SDGs.
