About us
The World Forum for Africa (WOFA) is a non-profit organisation that is single-mindedly committed to infrastructure development in Africa. It is focused on inspiring the build-out of transformational infrastructure projects across Africa thus spurring what is perhaps the largest economic transformation in human history.
WOFA is essentially about helping to bridge the infrastructural gap across this great continent. It is determined to lead the continent’s infrastructure revolution through a Made in Africa initiative.
Thematic areas
At WOFA SUMMIT, the speakers and panelists will be conceptualizing and identifying major revolutionary infrastructure projects as they relate to the pathway for Africa’s infrastructure transformation, poverty eradication and unleashing prosperity in the continent across these thematic areas:
Green Economy & Net Carbon Neutrality
Infrastructure development is decidedly the fulcrum for economic development. In the light of climate change challenges, however, it is important to build infrastructure with an eye on sustainability, resilience and compatibility with a net-zero future.
Girl Child & Women Education
The United Nations concede that investing in women’s economic empowerment sets a direct path towards gender equality, poverty eradication and inclusive economic growth.
Digitisation and Technology
The third industrial revolution changed our world. It brought a rapid wave of digitization and technology breakthrough which transformed the way we work and play. This revolution ensured that the world transited from analog to digital, improving productivity in all areas of life.
Health Infrastructure
There is a clear and definite relationship between the health of a population and the state of development of a society. It is no wonder, health is considered part of a society’s capital stock as important as its physical capital. It is a human right.
