The Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) has become a Gold Partner for the African Energy Week (AEW) 2026. This event is important for discussing how to finance energy and infrastructure projects in Africa. AFC is currently involved in significant financial activities across various sectors like oil, gas, and power generation. Recently, they led a major investment of $2.5 billion for a petroleum refinery in Lagos, Nigeria, which is the largest of its kind in Africa. They also secured funding for a railway project in Angola and a large power plant in Burkina Faso.
