10/2/25, 8:28 AM PRESSR: ECI highlights its role as catalyst in enhancing trade and investment opportunities between the UAE and Africa — Tradin…
Furthermore, prominent initiatives led by the UAE to advance sustainable development in the
African continent were discussed, with a spotlight on the “African Green Investment Initiative”
(AGII). Announced at the Africa Climate Summit, held in Nairobi in September 2023, AGII is a
multistakeholder partnership that adopts an innovative approach to climate finance, combining the

resources, expertise, and local knowledge of its partners.

Towards the closing of the session, emphasis was placed on ECI’s role in supporting the UAE’s global
clean energy agenda. During COP28, the UAE pledged USD 4.5 billion to accelerate clean energy
projects across Africa. In line with this, ECI is providing USD 500 million of credit insurance to de-risk

and unlock private capital - further demonstrating ECI’s commitment towards global sustainable
development.

It is noteworthy that the forum brought together global companies, private and public investment
bodies, thought leaders and policy makers, in a series of discussions on strengthening trade and
investment relations between the UAE and the African continent.

The UAE's hosting of this second edition comes within the framework of its growing economic and

trade relations with African countries, particularly as it is the largest investor in Africa among the
GCC countries. Dubai hosted the 2024 edition of the forum, following ten successful editions held in
London.
