Zambia is expected to showcase its energy and infrastructure investment opportunities at the First Continental Energy and Infrastructure Investment Forum (CEIIF), scheduled for February this year. According to the organisers, the forum presents a strategic platform for highlighting Zambia’s portfolio of bankable projects and reinforcing the country’s position as a dependable, reform-oriented, and attractive investment destination aligned with government’s economic vision. Speaking at a media briefing in Lusaka on Friday, Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) Director-General, Albert Halwampa, said the forum comes at a critical time, as investment in energy, transport and digital infrastructure is essential for unlocking industrial growth, expanding trade and boosting regional competitiveness.
“CEIIF will bring together governments, private investors, project developers, and development finance institutions to advance transformative projects across the continent,” Halwampa said. He described CEIIF as a major step toward unlocking Africa’s energy and infrastructure potential. “Zambia is proud not only to host this forum, but to lead from the front in shaping the future of continental investment and development,” he added.
The CEIIF 2026 Zambia programme will feature two days of high-level policy dialogue and structured business-to-government engagements, followed by two days of strategic site visits to priority energy and infrastructure assets across the country. “The programme is deliberately designed to move beyond dialogue, advancing bankable projects, concrete investment commitments, and the implementation of strategic partnerships,” Halwampa said.
