The Water Africa and West Africa Building & Construction Exhibition and Seminars is returning to Ghana following a successful event held in June 2022. The 2024 event will be held again at the Accra International Conference Centre.

Water Africa and West Africa Building & Construction 2024 will continue the theme of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene combined with Building Construction. The event will encompass a trade exhibition covering water, sanitation, building and construction equipment and services, with a seminar programme running alongside, tackling subjects which are relevant to these sectors.
Also, in conjunction with the Ghana Institute of Engineers there will be a CPD course conducted by our Seminar Development Director Prof. Robert Andoh.

Country Overview

Small and landlocked, Rwanda is hilly and fertile with a densely packed population of about 13 million people (2021). It borders the far larger and richer Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as its closest East African neighbours, Tanzania, Uganda, and Burundi. Rwanda has recently a forged an agreement with DRC to open a trade corridor to the western seaport of Matadi.
With the support of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, Rwanda has been able to make important economic and structural reforms and sustain its economic growth rates over the last decade. Rwanda has the second fastest economic growth in Africa.

Economic Overview

After rolling with the Covid-19 pandemic’s blows, double-digit growth of 10.3 per cent for 2021 sets the tone for further growth, with the International Monetary Fund projecting that Rwanda will post 7 per cent growth for 2022.
 A nation that just a generation ago tore itself apart in one of the deadliest displays of division is now working towards a common purpose with a conviction of the convert.

At the heart of Rwanda’s approach has been a combination of business-friendly policies, raising the country’s standing in the World Bank’s “Ease of Doing Business” index. Rwanda was ranked 29th in the world and second-best in Africa. There is, indeed, the successful adoption of economic plans to drive development indicators.

The main driver for Rwanda’s next national growth phase is the expansion of critical areas of the economy, including energy, education, finance, tourism, manufacturing, infrastructure, agriculture, and the wide technological application by both businesses and government institutions.

Seminar Programme

“Infrastructure and the Built Environment: Needs, Solutions, and Progress towards SDGs and AU’s Agenda 2063”

Alongside the exhibition, there will be 2-day technical seminar programme, which will be run in cooperation with the Ghana Institute of Engineers and Ghana Institute of Architects.

The seminars also provide an opportunity to deliver information to many delegates from central and local government departments, consultants, architects, engineers, NGOs, and the general business community.

In addition, there will be a CPD course conducted by our Seminar Development Director Prof Bob Andoh. The title and theme of the course will be released in March 2024.
