Launching the 5th edition of the AIFP!

Today marked the beginning of the fifth edition of the Africa Infrastructure Fellowship Program! We are pleased to welcome a brand-new team of 16 fellows in Paris for this year’s program.

This first day of Masterclass allowed the fellows to express their expectations from the AIFP and to dive into the program with an overview of the following themes:

• Infrastructure development: a global perspective
• Legal prerequisites, policy and institutional framework for PPPs
• The macro-economic landscape: dimensions and consequences
• AFD Strategy

Special thanks to today’s speakers for their enlightening interventions:

• Salim Bensmail – Meridiam
• Maude Vallée – African Legal Support Facility (ALSF)
• Assiba Djemaoun – AFD
• Carole Devidal – Expertise France

Thank you to our academic partner Ponts Formation Conseil (PFC) and Aude Plessis, training education consultant for coordinating this essential stage of the program.

We’re pleased to launch this fifth AIFP edition, which is sure to bring knowledge and inspiration to this year’s fellows!
