At least 1,000 delegates, including heads of governments, representatives of multilateral organisations and members of the private sector, today convene in Kigali for the Global African Investment Summit.

The summit, which will be held at the Kigali Convention Centre, is taking place for the first time in Africa with previous editions held in London. The two-day meet is convened and organised by the Common Market of Eastern and Southern Africa in partnership with the Government of Rwanda.

Organisers say the summit is tailored to serve the continent’s growing appeal among forward thinking investors who view the continent as an investment destination as opposed to a sole aid benefactor. Speaking last week, Rwanda Development Board chief executive Francis Gatare said, at the summit, opportunities and partnerships will be showcased with an aim of maintaining a steady stream of investments in Rwanda and Africa in genera.
