The AFC last week signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Morocco's Banque Centrale Populaire (BCP) aimed at increasing pan-African collaboration in financing vital infrastructure projects in North and Sub-Saharan Africa.

The MoU signing comes on the back of the launch of the Africa Infrastructure Development Association, a private sector initiative to bring about successful financing and project development solutions for infrastructure projects across the continent.
