Energy and Infrastructure Committee

Building the Foundations of Industry

The Energy & Infrastructure Committee of Make in Africa addresses what decides whether African factories can run: power, transport, ports, housing and civic infrastructure. Its members bring engineering, policy and investment expertise to align priorities with major continental infrastructure initiatives. With a focus on innovation, sustainability and competitiveness, the committee presses for fairly priced long-term finance and guarantees from the EU, the G7 and other partners.
