Nairobi, Kenya – President Yoweri Museveni has arrived in Nairobi, Kenya, to attend the Africa We Build Summit 2026, a high-level forum bringing together leaders from government, development finance institutions, and the private sector to advance discussions on accelerating infrastructure development across the continent.
The summit focuses on transitioning Africa’s infrastructure agenda from policy prioritisation to implementation, with emphasis on strengthening investment flows, improving coordination, and addressing structural challenges affecting large-scale project delivery.
The Africa Finance Corporation used the occasion to launch the State of Africa Infrastructure Report 2026, which highlights persistent constraints, including capital intermediation gaps and fragmentation in infrastructure planning and execution across African economies.
Upon arrival, President Museveni noted that the summit provides a key platform for engagement between public and private sector actors aimed at accelerating Africa’s socio-economic transformation through infrastructure development.
“I have arrived this morning in Nairobi, Kenya, to attend the Africa We Build Summit 2026. The Summit brings together leaders from the public and private sectors to discuss practical ways of moving Africa’s infrastructure from priority to implementation,” he said in a statement posted on X.
He added that he looks forward to engaging with fellow leaders, investors, and partners on strengthening collaboration to fast-track infrastructure development across the continent.
The Africa We Build Summit 2026 is expected to feature discussions on financing models, regional connectivity projects, and partnerships designed to scale up infrastructure delivery in energy, transport, and urban development sectors.
