NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

The Powering Africa: Summit is a platform to showcase power, trade and infrastructure investment opportunities across the African continent, engaging decision makers from the American and African public and private sectors to explore how project bankability can be increased. 18 countries were represented at PAS in 2016, with over 500 participants. These included 100 senior public officials and private sector leaders contributing to the panel discussions, workshops and keynote presentations, outlining opportunities for investors in energy and infrastructure projects.

ANDE invites you to a webinar presenting early findings from the Global Accelerator Survey, conducted as part of the Global Accelerator Learning Initiative.  The global accelerator landscape is growing and changing at a rapid pace. We conducted this research to add clarity to the recent phenomenon and to provide insight into what acceleration looks like in various geographies and contexts.

Abby Davidson will lead participants through the interactive findings on www.galidata.org, where users can filter results by geography and impact orientation.
