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.
