    Overview

    The Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) is proud to present its 6th U.S.-Africa Infrastructure Conference. This year's conference, themed "Building Resilient Cities," will highlight how major metropolises in Africa are coping with rapid urbanization and the needs of a steadily growing middle class. Workshops will offer solutions for potable water, intermodal transportation, communication technology, and on- and off-grid electricity. This year's special sessions will also address natural and manmade disasters.

    Immediately preceding the fall meetings at the World Bank, the conference will bring together U.S. and African government officials, international infrastructure experts, and leading decision makers from the public and private sectors.
