The African Federation for Construction Contractors’ Associations (AFCCA), represented by H.E. Ambassador Hatem Tageldin, Secretary-General of the Federation, participated via videoconference in the Meeting of Heads of Procurement of Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs Heads of Procurement), hosted by the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) in Paris on 9 September 2026, in cooperation with the World Construction Association (CICA).
The meeting discussed ways to strengthen cooperation and coordination among multilateral development banks in the field of procurement and to exchange experiences on the development and harmonization of procurement practices and procedures, with a view to enhancing the efficiency of development project implementation and promoting transparency and sustainability.
AFCCA’s participation in the meeting reflects the Federation’s commitment to strengthening the presence of the African construction sector in the international dialogue on procurement policies, contracts, and development projects, while supporting opportunities for greater cooperation between contractors’ organizations and multilateral development banks and other development finance institutions.
