8th African Engineering Week

This yearβs UNESCO Africa Engineering Week (AEW) and Conference will be hosted by the Ethiopian Association of Civil Engineers and will be held from November 7 to 11, 2022 in Addis Ababa the capital city of Ethiopia, under the theme: βAccelerating Sustainable Infrastructure Development in Africa Togetherβ. The event is organised in collaboration with the Federation of African Engineering Organizations (FAEO), WFEO and UNESCO.
Infrastructure is crucial for facilitating economic development and a better quality of life. This has been well recognised in both the AUβs Agenda 2063 Goals and the UNβs Sustainable Development Goals (SDGβs). Whilst Goal 10 of the AU Agenda 2063 states βWorld class infrastructure crisscrosses Africaβ, SDG Goal 9 is βBuild resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovationβ.
Practically every single one of the goals listed the two aspirational sets of goals can be facilitated by appropriate infrastructure and this lies within the purview of engineers. The purpose of this conference is to examine how the development of such infrastructure can be undertaken in a sustainable manner to help raise living standards, assist in the exploitation of our natural resources, improve health, industrialize.
This will be examined under the sub-themes of:
- Energy
- Construction
- Information and Communication Technology
- Transportation
- Water and Sanitation
- Partnerships and Financing
- Infrastructure Partnership
Call for Papers submission deadline: 15 October 2022
All Dates
- From Monday, 7th November 2022 to Friday, 11th November 2022
