Housing delivery at scale is more than construction. It requires alignment between capital, policy and ex*****on.

Across different markets, that alignment is evolving from how projects are financed, to how risks are structured, to how delivery is sequenced. That is the focus of today’s webinar.

Today, ConstructAfrica convenes professionals working across government, development and housing institutions to share perspectives grounded in current practice not theory.

If you haven’t heard of LAPSSET, think of it as Africa’s most ambitious "Land Bridge." We’re talking about a $25 Billion corridor designed to link the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic. A 2,000km of road, $1.2B hydropower dam, deepsea port and many more.

In our exclusive interview with Njoki M. (Rasli Bahari Kenya Limited) to discuss the "hidden engine" of the LAPSSET corridor: The $822M Lamu Desalination Plant. Here's the quick breakdown:

✅ Solving Scarcity
✅ Waste to Wealth Revenue Synergy
✅ Infrastructure Velocity:
✅ De-risked PPP model for long-term high yields

This is more than just construction; it is a masterclass in regional connectivity and Infrastructure development Are you ready to understand the $25B blueprint? Read the full analysis and interview on ConstructAfrica: https://dub.sh/LAPSSET

Africa’s housing gap is not just widening, it is becoming more complex. Demand is rising, cities are expanding, but delivery is still lagging behind!

Housing is not built in isolation, it sits at the intersection of policy, finance, infrastructure and ex*****on.
Come March 26th, ConstructAfrica convenes a panel of leaders working across these critical layers to unpack what it will take to move housing delivery forward practically and sustainably and from pipelines to delivery.

The conversation around carbon credits used to be largely centered on climate commitments and emissions targets. But a new development in Zambia suggests something more strategic may be emerging. Carbon markets are beginning to play a role in unlocking capital for Africa’s energy transition.

Through a partnership with Norway, Zambia is set to channel revenue from carbon credits into the development of 300 MW of green energy projects effectively turning climate finance into a direct funding pathway for power infrastructure.

“The programme is expected to result in 300MW of green energy while pushing for a reduction of up to 3.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent over 10 years,” Minister of Green Economy and Environment Mike Mposha said during the agreement signing.

Carbon markets are no longer just environmental instruments. They are increasingly becoming tools for infrastructure investment. Read the full story on ConstructAfrica:

Africa’s cities are growing faster than ever! By 2050, the continent’s urban population is expected to double. But alongside this growth comes one of the most pressing development challenges of our time:

The demand for decent homes across major cities in Africa continues to outpace supply, leaving millions without access to adequate and affordable housing. Yet within this challenge lies a powerful opportunity to rethink how housing is financed, designed and delivered across the continent.

Addressing the housing gap will require more than construction alone. It will demand new financing models, smarter policy frameworks, innovative building technologies and stronger collaboration between the public and private sectors.

To explore these questions, ConstructAfrica is convening another edition of our Webinar Series.
Topic: 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮

This session will bring together industry leaders, policymakers and built environment professionals to discuss practical pathways for expanding housing supply and shaping more resilient African cities.

If you work in infrastructure development, urban planning, construction, housing finance or policy, this is a conversation worth being part of.

Zambia sits at the heart of Africa’s Copperbelt, while the Democratic Republic of Congo holds the world’s largest cobalt reserves, critical to global energy transition.

Yet for decades, getting those minerals to market meant a detour thousands of kilometres south through ports never designed to carry this volume, thereby resulting in longer transit times, higher transport costs and bottlenecks at key ports such as and .

But a shift is underway as the Nacala Corridor is extending deeper into Southern Africa, creating a new trade artery linking Zambia and the DRC to Mozambique’s , one of Africa’s deepest natural harbours, capable of accommodating large ocean-going vessels.

By providing a viable alternative logistics route, the corridor would shorten transport distances, reduce freight costs and improve direct access to Asian and European markets for key exports including , , and agricultural products.

This reflects a broader shift across the continent: infrastructure is increasingly being used as a strategic economic lever. For logistics operators, mining companies and infrastructure investors, developments around the Nacala Corridor offer a clear signal of where Southern Africa’s trade infrastructure may be evolving.

The routes being built today will help shape the region’s economic geography for decades to come.

ConstructAfrica continues to track the projects and investments redefining Africa’s logistics landscape. Don't miss out!

Energy security is the silent engine of industrialization, not just in developed nations, but increasingly across East Africa, where the shift from isolated grids to integrated power systems is no longer a future ambition, it's moving into ex*****on.

The Uganda-Tanzania Power Interconnector, a planned 400kV transmission line is advancing toward procurement, signaling a decisive shift toward a more resilient and interconnected regional power system. Beyond transmission capacity, this project signals something bigger: the shift from isolated national systems to coordinated power markets capable of stabilising supply, lowering generation costs and unlocking industrial expansion across borders.

With Uganda’s hydropower strength and Tanzania’s rising industrial and residential demand, the project closes a strategic loop enabling efficient power trade while strengthening the wider East African Power Pool (EAPP).

Regional energy security isn't built on goodwill alone. It's built on transmission lines, substations and cross-border agreements that turn energy surpluses into tradable assets and deficits into manageable challenges.
