The 8th PIDA Week was held in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) from 25th to 29th November 2024. This year’s theme, “Fostering Resilient and Inclusive Infrastructure for Africa’s Sustainable Growth: Leveraging Transformative Financing and Regional Integration”, focused on the critical sectors of the programme (Energy, Transport, and ICT) and the implementation of PIDA by promoting transformative financing, advancing regional integration, and fostering sustainable infrastructure development across Africa.
CTLup took part in the 8th PIDA Week by presenting the “Parallel Session 7: Technical Capacity Building Workshop“, whose main objective consisted of training technical staff of corridor management organisations to use ARTCOMS as a tool to monitor corridor infrastructure. The meeting, organised by UNECA, also provided a platform to discuss the sustainability of ARTCOMS for all the organisation involved in the implementation of this tool for African corridors.
PIDA (Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa) is vital for Africa’s economic growth as it enhances productivity, reduces transaction costs, and facilitates trade and investment, by promoting regional integration by improving cross-border infrastructure, essential for the AfCFTA and Agenda 2063.
