Top global and African Chief Executive Officers have today launched a Continental Business Network (CBN) to fast-track high-level private sector investment into Africa’s regional infrastructure.
Launched on the side-lines of the World Economic Forum on Africa in Cape Town, South Africa, the CBN is the mandated follow-up and implementation of recommendations emanating from the Dakar Financing Summit (DFS), hosted by Senegal’s President Macky Sally.
CEO of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) Agency Dr. Ibrahim Mayaki said, “The CBN was endorsed by NEPAD Heads of State and Government Orientation Committee (HSGOC) in June 2014. It is a direct response to facilitate private sector advice and leadership in essential NEPAD and African infrastructure projects.
