He added that the Agency\u2019s role has evolved beyond investment promotion to encompass project structuring and monitoring, with the objective of developing a robust pipeline of technically sound and financially viable projects.
\nMeanwhile, Ms. Malin Blomberg, Assistant Director General for North Africa at the African Development Bank, noted that the Bank is actively working to raise awareness among investors about its innovative financing instruments.
