NAIROBI, Kenya, April 23 – Rwanda is set to host the Shelter Afrique Development Bank’s (ShafDB) 43rd Annual General Meeting (AGM) from June 11 to 13, 2024.
The event, which will take place in Kigali, is expected to cover an annual symposium, a ministerial roundtable, the 43rd annual general meeting, and some interlinked business activities as part of the proceedings.
This follows Rwanda’s nomination as the next host country at Shelter Afrique Development Bank’s 42nd AGM held in Abuja, Nigeria, and the subsequent signing of the host country agreement between the company and the Government of Rwanda in Kigali in March.
Thierno Habib Hann, CEO of ShafDB, thanked the government of Rwanda for committing to hosting the company’s 43rd AGM.
“This Year’s AGM will serve as an ushering step in solidifying Shelter Afrique Development Bank (ShafDB) transformation and continued elevation of housing finance and urban development across the continent,” Hann said.
“We are pleased with the emphasis the Government of Rwanda has placed on the provision of affordable housing and we believe that by hosting our 43rd AGM Rwanda will be able to take the lead on shaping the narrative around affordable housing beyond Rwanda,” he added.
Following the signing of the host country agreement by the Minister of Infrastructure, Jimmy Gasore, the Government of Rwanda is expected to ensure effective organization and success of the meetings by undertaking to contribute to the physical planning.
Housing and finance ministers from 44 member countries, housing sector players from the public and private sectors, and other governmental and non-governmental entities are expected to attend.
