The recognition by our Heads of State and Government of the importance of infrastructure to support regional integration, and their direct engagement on accelerating the implementation of regional infrastructure development, is a watershed for the region.

The keen interest and involvement of our leaders in accelerating the regional infrastructure agenda has brought excitement, hope and inspiration to the Secretariat, stakeholders in Member States, private sector and financing agencies.

This initiative will strengthen the ownership and involvement of Member States for cross-border infrastructure development and implementation.
