The Brazil Africa Forum 2024 will focus on the theme Infrastructure Investment to boost sustainable development in Brazil and Africa.

The objective is to stimulate partnerships among Brazil, Africa, and other regions, with a particular emphasis on infrastructure investment and sustainable development aspects.

The Brazil Africa Forum stands as a crucial platform for addressing pressing global challenges and nurturing dialogue among leaders from around the world. By bringing together influential voices from Brazil, Africa, and beyond, in 2024, the event aims to replicate the successes of previous editions, which convened heads of state, government officials, development agencies, financial institutions, private sector representatives, and civil society stakeholders in Brazil.
