Africa India Partnership Day

The Export-Import Bank of India (India Exim Bank) has been organising the Africa-India Partnership Day (AIPD) as part of the events associated with the Annual Meetings of the African Development Bank Group (AfDB), starting with Marrakech (in 2013), and followed by Kigali (in 2014), Abidjan (in 2015), Lusaka (in 2016), Ahmedabad (in 2017), Malabo (in 2019), Accra (in 2022), and Sharm El Sheikh (in 2023). All the AIPD events focused on ‘Sharing of India’s Development Experiences’, especially, through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode of development.

The theme of this year’s Africa-India Partnership Day was ‘India’s Engagement in Africa’s Transformation’. The theme underscored India’s steadfast commitment to work together with stakeholders in Africa to foster inclusive growth, economic prosperity, and sustainable development in the continent. The event saw attendance of more than 110  senior officials from various development financial institutions, multilateral development banks, regional development banks and industry practitioners. A high-level delegation from Indian industry has also attended the AIPD and shared their experiences in Africa.

2026 AADFI Annual General Assembly

The Association of African Development Finance Institutions (AADFI) is pleased to announce that its 2026 Annual General Assembly will take place from May 24 to 29, 2026, in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, on the sidelines of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Annual Meetings.

The Annual General Assembly will be held on the theme “Augmenting Sovereign Finance in Africa: DFIs Unlocking Growth and Resilience through NAFA,” with a focus on the transformative role of African Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) in strengthening Africa’s financial sovereignty. The discussions will align with the AfDB-led New African Financial Architecture (NAFA), a system-level framework designed to mobilize long-term investment, reduce Africa’s cost of capital, and reinforce resilience through coordinated financial systems and deeper domestic capital markets.

The Annual General Assembly will convene leaders of African DFIs, government officials, regional institutions, and development partners to further explore how African DFIs can catalyze local investment, de-risk strategic projects, and strengthen economic autonomy to build resilience against global shocks and bridge the continent’s infrastructure funding gap.

Further details will be shared in the coming weeks.
