Overcoming Logistics Challenges in Africa's Construction Industry
Construction project delivery across Africa is often shaped by logistics challenges that go far beyond moving materials from one point to another. Delays in material availability, fragmented supply chains, transport bottlenecks, workforce capacity gaps, and weak project coordination can all affect cost, timelines, and overall project performance.In this edition of ConstructAfrica’s Building a Better and Sustainable Africa webinar series, we will explore practical strategies for overcoming logistics challenges in Africa’s construction industry. The discussion will look at how to build a logistics-ready workforce, strengthen supply chains and local material availability, improve transportation systems and delivery reliability, and use technology and modern project management practices to drive efficiency across the project lifecycle. Bringing together industry leaders from across infrastructure, logistics, procurement, training and technology, the webinar will offer practical insights into how the sector can improve project delivery outcomes in increasingly complex operating environments.
Navigating Opportunities: The Construction Sector under the AfCFTA Protocol
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) was designed to reshape how business is done across the continent. But, what does it actually mean for the construction and infrastructure sector today?This webinar creates space for a grounded, honest conversation on how the AfCFTA protocol is intersecting with the construction sector: where opportunities may be emerging, where friction still exists, and what industry players need to be paying attention to now. Rather than assumptions or headlines, the discussion will explore lived realities, early signals, and strategic questions shaping the sector under this new trade framework.
Addressing the Housing Crisis in Africa
Africa's housing deficit continues to grow as rapid urbanisation, population growth and affordability challenges place increasing pressure on governments, developers and investors. Addressing this challenge requires more than building new homes. It calls for coordinated action across policy, finance, planning, infrastructure, and the construction industry.This webinar brings together industry leaders, policymakers and built environment professionals to explore practical solutions for expanding housing supply across Africa. The discussion examines the key barriers to housing delivery, including access to finance, land, planning and regulatory frameworks, while highlighting innovative approaches that can accelerate the development of affordable, sustainable and resilient communities.Through expert insights and real-world perspectives, the session provides valuable knowledge for developers, contractors, consultants, policymakers, investors and other stakeholders committed to shaping the future of housing across the continent.
Sustainable Design of Infrastructure for African Countries
As Africa continues to invest in infrastructure to support economic growth and urbanisation, the way projects are designed today will shape their performance, resilience, and value for decades to come. Sustainable infrastructure design is no longer a theoretical concept — it is increasingly central to how projects respond to climate risk, resource constraints, financing requirements, and long-term operational demands. This sixth edition of the Building a Better and Sustainable Africa webinar series brings together experienced professionals to explore what sustainable infrastructure design looks like in African contexts. The session will focus on practical considerations and real-world perspectives, examining how sustainability decisions influence project outcomes across the entire value chain — from planning and design to delivery, operation, and long-term asset performance.
