ICRC's Dr. Ewalefoh to Address PPPs at African Forum

Dr. Jobson Oseodion Ewalefoh, the Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), is scheduled to speak at the 2nd African Public-Private Partnerships Units Forum in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from September 29 to 30. His presentation, titled “Making Social Sector PPPs Work: From Policy Ambition to Effective Service Delivery,” will address the urgent need to connect policy ambitions with actual service delivery in Africa's social sector.

Ewalefoh plans to share insights on how Nigeria has improved its regulatory frameworks and implemented systemic reforms to reduce project risks, expedite compliance approvals, and enhance investor confidence. He emphasized that addressing this gap is crucial for the continent's development.

The forum is co-hosted by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the African Development Bank Group (AfDB), and the African Legal Support Facility (ALSF).
