Rabat – June 6, 2026 – Morocco will host the 45th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Shelter Afrique Development Bank. The meetings run from 09–11 June 2026 at Sofitel Jardin des Roses in Rabat. The agenda includes an Annual Symposium, a Ministerial Roundtable, statutory meetings, field visits, and a series of business and investment events. Sessions will focus on housing finance, climate-resilient infrastructure, and urban transformation.
Themed “The Future of Cities: Financing Inclusive, Green, and Resilient Urban Development,” the event will gather housing and finance ministers, policymakers, investors, development finance institutions, urban planners, and private sector stakeholders from across Africa. Attendees will discuss strategies to accelerate sustainable urban development and deliver affordable housing solutions across the continent.
