Third  PIDA Week, Swakopmund, Namibia

This year’s PIDA Week focused on the theme “Regional Infrastructure Development for Job Creation and Economic Transformation” – a central element was the so-called “market packaging” of five PIDA Programmes that are particularly impactful for socio-economic development. By presenting respective action plans, project owners were seeking further financing partners for its realization. Another highlight was the High Level Roundtable on Job Creation, Trade Facilitation and Economic Transformation through Regional Infrastructure, which was opened by the NEPAD Agency and its achievements in support of job creation and intra-African trade.
