Top African leaders, policymakers and private sector players will meet in Malabo next month to push forward plans for greater regional integration and economic mobility across the continent.

The Malabo Leaders’ Breakfast, set for 13 July, will take place under the patronage of Equatorial Guinea’s President, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.

The event is being organised by the Africa Prosperity Network (APN), Invest Equatorial Guinea and the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), ahead of the African Union’s 7th Mid-Year Coordination Meeting.

Themed “Financing and Facilitating the Movement of People, Goods, and Services Across Africa”, the gathering aims to accelerate efforts to remove barriers to free movement and trade across the continent.

“Malabo takes us from diagnosis to practice. We will translate commitments into concrete financing and implementation of policies for free movement, starting with the Dollar a Day Fund,” said Sidig El Toum, executive director of APN.

A key feature of the meeting will be the launch of the Integrated Infrastructure Growth Fund for Africa, a project first proposed by H.E. Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma during the 2025 Africa Prosperity Dialogues.

The initiative seeks to mobilise the continent’s middle class to contribute at least one US dollar a day, generating more than $20 billion annually to fund roads, bridges, airports and digital networks needed to connect African markets.

Concrete priorities on the agenda include:

The event will bring together Heads of State, AU leaders, representatives of Regional Economic Communities (RECs), leaders of development finance institutions, and key figures from sectors such as aviation, banking, telecommunications, fintech, transport, and construction.

For Equatorial Guinea, the meeting offers an opportunity to spotlight its own investment drive and commitment to regional cooperation.

“Hosting this summit reflects our commitment to continental integration,” said Invest Equatorial Guinea in a statement. “We offer investors unparalleled infrastructure, stability, and market access, demonstrating that Africa’s single market can work for everyone.”

The Leaders’ Breakfast will take place at the Sipopo International Conference Centre in Malabo.
