Nairobi, Kenya – 11–13 November 2026 – The 16th edition of the Africa PPP Infrastructure Finance, Investment & Partnerships Summit (Africa PPP 2026) will return to Nairobi, Kenya, bringing together ministers, investors, development finance institutions (DFIs), project developers, and industry leaders from across Africa and beyond. Hosted in partnership with the State Department for Public Investments & Asset Management (SDPIAM), Government of the Republic of Kenya, the summit will spotlight high-impact, bankable infrastructure projects and explore strategic partnerships to accelerate Africa’s infrastructure agenda.
Under the overarching theme of “Building Africa’s Prosperity: Transformative Infrastructure, Investment and Partnerships to Accelerate Economic Development”, the summit emphasizes the critical role of strategic collaboration, innovative financing, and multi-sector investment in unlocking the continent’s growth potential. Sessions will focus on Energy | Transportation | Water & Sanitation | Industrialisation | Urban & Social Infrastructure, highlighting projects ready for private and institutional participation and offering practical insights into structuring, financing, and delivering transformative infrastructure.
Kenya continues to strengthen its position as a leading investment hub. The government recently unveiled nearly 50 public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects across roads, ports, and energy, spanning feasibility studies, procurement, negotiations, and implementation. These initiatives, combined with ongoing investments in water systems, industrial zones, and urban development, alongside investor-friendly measures such as tax breaks and duty exemptions, create a compelling pipeline for both regional and international investors. Nairobi’s ranking as 56th globally and 6th in Sub-Saharan Africa in the 2026 Global Attractiveness Index underscores the city’s growing appeal as a hub for capital, talent, and innovation.
Across Africa, momentum is building in all key infrastructure sectors. Renewable energy and hydropower projects are scaling to meet industrialisation and urbanisation demands. Transport corridors, rail networks, ports, and airports are enhancing trade and regional integration. Water, sanitation, and solid waste systems are being modernized to improve resilience and service delivery. Industrialisation and urban infrastructure—including industrial parks, special economic zones, housing, healthcare, and smart city initiatives—are creating opportunities for inclusive economic growth and long-term impact.
