Panel Discussion Session 1
Panel 1 Topic:
Infrastructure Investments in Kenya and the Role of PPP
Use of private sector capital leverages the private sector’s expertise for the expansion and modernization of public infrastructure. This has led to the increased prioritization of PPPs as a way of arranging for financing of public infrastructure, which should also lead to opportunities for international and local investors.

Panel 4 Topic:
Fireside Chat: Learning’s from U.S. and African Institutional Investors Investing in Infrastructure
As institutional investors seek to make valuable investments that ensure high returns and low risk, infrastructure may hold attractive qualities for institutional investors. Pension funds are well suited to provide “patient capital” to long-term infrastructure projects. But private infrastructure investments may also carry risks – financial, political and otherwise – how can trustees wishing to make investments select infrastructure investments that benefit pension funds?
