At a boardroom session in the Ethiopian Skylight Hotel Ballroom, delegates inaugurated the Steering Committee for the 2026 PPP Summit and Investment Forum, electing Mr. Felix Achibiri as Chairman and Engr. Ronald Ajiboye as Co-Chairman.
The committee will develop a continental pipeline of PPP-ready projects to drive industrialization, clean energy transition, and digital transformation — with projected investments exceeding USD 15 billion over the next decade.
Driving Agenda 2063 with Data and Determination
According to the African Development Bank, Africa’s infrastructure financing gap exceeds USD 130 billion annually, while the IMF projects the continent’s GDP to surpass USD 5 trillion by 2030.
Delegates agreed that expanding PPPs could close this gap and create over 10 million jobs by 2035, advancing Aspiration 2 of Agenda 2063: “An integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens.”
A Bulgarian delegation, attending as Friends of Africa and led by Toniyi Samaonov with Yordanka Milkova, Velichka Stamenova, and Tanya Murdzhova, reinforced the spirit of mutual partnership.
“We are here not as donors but as co-architects,” Samaonov said. “Africa’s rise will lift us all.”
