I for Afrika is IACCI's initiative for deepening business partnership with Africa in high-priority sectors — built on capacity building and resource mobilization, and acting as a facilitator for business, cultural, and tourism exchange between India and Africa.
The 9th I for Afrika — November 2017, Nehru Centre, Mumbai
India has a long and deep historical connection with Africa, and the relationship is evolving into a wider, deeper engagement — one that benefits India while offering significant potential for its African partners. Both regions face similar challenges in building robust infrastructure for their growing populations, and have a notable opportunity to work together — not only to meet funding requirements, but to share leading practices from each other's experience.
These are the editions we have been able to confirm from the program's public archive; IACCI can supply the complete list of editions and dates.
