Across Africa, climate-related hazards like floods, droughts, and storms continue to threaten infrastructure systems — disrupting livelihoods and slowing down sustainable development. With climate risks on the rise, how can infrastructure be designed to withstand these hazards and support long-term sustainability? Join us for our upcoming workshop as we convene experts, advocates, and enthusiasts to explore: - The impact of climate-related hazards on infrastructure development. - Strategies for disaster risk management and resilient infrastructure planning. - Best practices for designing climate-resilient infrastructure Date: March 21, 2025 Register now: https://lnkd.in/duPcXwYp #sustainabledevelopment #SDG9 #climateresilientinfrastructure #forafrica

Infrastructure is more than just roads and buildings — it is a powerful tool for women’s economic empowerment. Yet, gaps in access to essential infrastructure services like transportation, energy, and digital connectivity continue to limit women’s participation in economic activities across Africa. Join us this International Women’s Day as we host a discussion with Tolulope Babajide, MBA on how gender-responsive infrastructure development can create more inclusive and sustainable communities. 📌 Date: March 7 🕒 Time: 5pm 💻 Venue: IG Live See you then! #IWD2025 #WomenInInfrastructure #infrastructuredevelopment #SDG9

Urbanisation doesn’t have to come at the expense of the environment. Green infrastructure integrates nature into city planning to create more liveable, eco-friendly communities.

PIDA is an infrastructure master plan that is adopted by all African countries to mobilise resources for the development of modern infrastructure. It focuses on four main sub-sectors: energy, transport, cross-border water, and ICT. Since its inception, the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) has been driving large-scale infrastructure projects across energy, ICT, transport, and water sectors—enhancing connectivity, trade, and economic growth. ✅ Increased electricity access for 30M+ Africans ✅ 25% broadband penetration across the continent ✅ 16% rise in intra-African trade However, challenges remain—funding gaps, project delays, and uneven distribution of infrastructure development threaten PIDA’s long-term vision. Can Africa meet its 2040 goals? Dive into our latest article to explore PIDA’s impact and future challenges. Read here: https://lnkd.in/dYzrN_sX #infrastructuredevelopment #SDG9 #ForAfrica #PIDA

It’s been exactly a month since we hosted the SeraNova pre-launch event and three weeks since we officially launched the platform! At the event, we had insightful discussions, including: 📌 A keynote by Tayo Aduloju on the Strategic Importance of Infrastructure in National Development Planning. 📌 A panel session with Abiola Durodola and Dolapo Agbede FIMC, ACIPM, LDS moderated by Victoria Oladipo 📌 A special session where our founder, Oluwabusola Fadipe-Adewuyi introduced SeraNova to the public for the first time! We explored strategies to enhance public participation in infrastructure planning and identified ways to track and implement policies for better infrastructure development. Now, SeraNova is LIVE! Visit the platform today and explore infrastructure policies across 28 African countries. 🔗 Check it out now: https://lnkd.in/dYke9maw

An Infrastructure Master Plan is a long-term roadmap that guides infrastructure development at local, national, and regional levels. It identifies gaps, outlines strategies, and prioritises projects to drive sustainable growth. Swipe to learn more with examples. #infralingo #infrastructuredevelopment #SDG9

This project was deemed unlawful for two key reasons: Violation of the Public Procurement Act – Government contracts must undergo open and competitive bidding before being awarded. Breach of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Act – An EIA must be conducted before any project begins to assess potential risks to the environment. Recognising an unlawful project is the first step toward driving change. At InfraSpotlight, we believe knowledge empowers action—that’s why we do what we do. Follow us to learn more about how you can take action as a citizen! #ForAfrica #SustainableDevelopment

Did you know that you can challenge infrastructure projects? As a citizen, you have the right to take legal action if a project raises concerns about environmental damage, corruption, or misappropriation of funds. Mr. Funsho Doherty understands this and has taken a stand against this project that violates two major legislations. We’ll be diving deeper into this ongoing case—stay tuned! #ForAfrica #InfrastructureDevelopment
