Africa Prosperity Dialogues to be held in Accra from January 30 to February 1

The Africa Prosperity Dialogues (APD) 2025, organised by the Africa Prosperity Network (APN) in collaboration with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, convenes from 30 January to 1 February 2025 at the Accra International Conference Centre in Accra, Ghana.

The objective is to plan next actions for the continent under the theme “Delivering Africa’s Single Market through Infrastructure: Invest. Connect. Integrate.”

“The event, which has already attracted over 3,000 participants from 46 countries, including several African heads of state, institutional heads, industry leaders, chief executives, entrepreneurs, ministers, policymakers, thought leaders and development partners, will begin with a series of breakfast meetings, featuring critical focus areas and challenges that buttress this year’s theme,” a press release issued by the Communication Directorate of Africa Prosperity Network stated.

The statement dated January 25 added that “Over eight sessions – including workshops, presentations, panel discussions and practical networking opportunities – the breakfast meetings, starting from 8:30am on 30 January, will address challenges for sectors critical to Africa’s economic integration and prosperity goals.”

According to Sidig El Toum, Chief Executive Officer, APN, “The layout of the breakfast meetings reflects the private sector’s leadership in initiating the dialogues, ultimately owning and driving AfCFTA’s single-market agenda. It also speaks to current opportunities for industry actors, including young and women entrepreneurs across the continent.”

Tonisha Tagoe, International Relations and Trade Liaison for APN, adds, “Since its inception, the annual Africa Prosperity Dialogues have grown into a cornerstone of Africa’s economic integration and transformation. Now, in its third year, the dialogues continue to break new ground with expanded programming, televised discussions, and an even stronger focus on actionable outcomes.”

She says: “These Breakfast Meetings set the stage for impactful discussions on trade, technology, finance and entrepreneurship ahead of the official opening ceremony of the Africa Prosperity Dialogues 2025.”
