The 5th AFC Country & Stakeholder Symposium

This year’s theme, “Making Africa’s Institutional Savings Work Better for the Continent,” will spotlight the urgent need to bridge the financing gap in Africa by harnessing the power of domestic institutional capital to fund long-term development. The Symposium will serve as a vital platform to explore how Africa can better mobilize its own institutional savings and redirect them into high-impact, return-generating projects aligned with national development priorities. The Symposium will showcase AFC’s innovative capital mobilization strategies and financial structuring expertise, with a focus on developing new financial products and asset allocation models that attract and retain institutional investors. Discussions will also include potential regulatory enhancements needed to unlock domestic capital for productive investments, while maintaining strong protections for savers.
