The Alliance of Sahel States, comprising Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, will participate in the 2025 African Prosperity Dialogues, despite their exit from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
The African Prosperity Network (APN), convener of the Dialogues, disclosed this at a press briefing ahead of this year’s event, set for January 30 and February 1, 2025, at the Accra International Conference Centre.
The move was to ensure that no African country was left in the transformation of the continent, as this year’s event focuses on providing solutions to the US$100 billion infrastructure gap to drive intra-Africa trade.
Responding to questions about the involvement of the region, following their defect, Ms Asheley Asenso, the Protocol Lead at APN, said: “There are registration from these countries, and they will be sending their representatives.”
The 2025 dialogues would be held in collaboration with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat.
