Secretary-General of AFCCA visits Algerian Embassy to Explore Future Cooperation Opportunities
In light of his appointment as Secretary-General of the African Federation for Construction Contractors’ Associations, Ambassador Hatem Tageldin paid a visit on 11 August 2025 to the Embassy of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, where he was received by H.E. Ambassador Mohamed Sofiane Berrah.
The visit aimed at strengthening communication channels and introducing the scope of the Federation’s work, in addition to discussing opportunities for future cooperation and facilitations that would benefit its members. Ambassador Tageldin emphasized that the Federation looks forward to a comprehensive advancement in the status of sectoral associations in member states and African construction companies, as well as enhancing cooperation in the field of knowledge and expertise exchange.
It is worth noting that the Federation works to create and develop professional relations among contractors across African countries, while defending the legitimate financial and moral rights of African contractors. It also seeks to open channels of communication and cooperation with contractors’ federations worldwide, and to link African contractors’ federations through a communication network and a comprehensive database containing studies and statistics needed for the development of the profession. Furthermore, the Federation follows up on the exchange of expertise and the provision of technical and administrative cadres to support the growth of the sector in Africa.
The Federation’s General Assembly meeting, held in Cairo last June, witnessed elections for senior positions representing the continent’s geographic regions. During these elections, Eng. SamiaAL-Makhloufi, President of the National Organization of Employers and Contractors in Algeria, was elected as a member of the Federation’s Executive Bureau for Northern Africa Region for a three-years term.
The meeting concluded with H.E. the Ambassador of Algeria welcoming the strengthening of cooperation between AFCCA and the Algerian Embassy, affirming the provision of the necessary support and facilitations to enable the Federation to fulfill its mission of serving African construction companies. This will pave the way for strategic partnerships and joint projects that support sustainable development and enhance the presence of African contractors in regional and global markets.
