Mission
A platform for dialogue, structuring and financing
FECIS aims to create a strategic platform for dialogue, advocacy, structuring and financing of territorial and private projects in the Septentrion. Unlike a conference or a trade fair, it prepares bankable projects upstream, presents them to financiers during the forum and follows up commitments afterwards.
Co-organised by the CCIMA North Regional Delegation and the Adamawa branch of CVUC, the second edition focuses on concrete solutions to finance mature projects led by local authorities and businesses in the Septentrion, bringing together the State, local authorities, investors, technical and financial partners and the private sector.
Specific objectives
- Raise awareness of financing options and mechanisms
- Identify and promote structuring projects with strong social impact
- Facilitate access to public, private and blended finance
- Strengthen local actors’ project engineering capacity
- Promote public-private partnerships
- Position the Septentrion as an attractive development hub
- Develop human capital
