ConstructAfrica (www.ConstructAfrica.com), the leading platform for market intelligence, thought leadership, and news on construction and infrastructure across the African continent, is proud to announce the formation of the ConstructAfrica Industry Advisory Board (CIAB). This newly established board brings together a distinguished group of global and African leaders committed to shaping the future of infrastructure development across Africa.

The CIAB is composed of seasoned professionals from leading construction firms, national infrastructure agencies, academia, multilateral development institutions, private equity, and global finance. Its members include internationally recognized infrastructure leaders, Chief Executives, Directors, a University Vice Chancellor, academic experts, and experienced financial and investment professionals — each offering invaluable insight and extensive global networks.

The mission of the CIAB is to provide strategic guidance, promote collaboration, and support ConstructAfrica’s vision of delivering trusted intelligence that enables evidence-based decision-making in Africa’s infrastructure ecosystem. The board will serve as a catalyst for constructive dialogue, policy insight, investment mobilisation and innovation.

“It is a privilege to lead the ConstructAfrica Industry Advisory Board at a time when Africa’s infrastructure agenda is more critical than ever. This initiative brings together a powerful coalition of experience, expertise, and vision — committed to shaping a resilient, inclusive, and investment-ready infrastructure landscape. ConstructAfrica plays a vital role in equipping stakeholders with trusted, actionable intelligence, and the Advisory Board will amplify this impact by driving thought leadership, collaboration, capacity building, and strategic alignment across sectors and borders.”
