The Africa Investment Forum will announce the results of the virtual boardroom sessions on Thursday 17 March. The sessions were to have been held during the Africa Investment Forum Market Days Event in November 2021, which was postponed due to the omicron variant of the Covid-19 virus.

Since Tuesday, investors have been examining more than $50 billion of curated bankable projects in key priority sectors identified in the Africa Investment Forum's 2020 Unified Response to Covid-19 initiative. The sectors include agriculture and agro-processing; education; energy and climate; healthcare; minerals and mining; information and communications technology and telecommunication; and industrialization and trade. Nine of these projects are women-led, with a potential value of $5 billion.

African Development Bank Group President Dr. Akinwumi A. Adesina will make a closing presentation and an announcement on Thursday. A press conference will follow with the heads of the Africa Investment Forum founding partner institutions.
