Anis Jaziri, Chairman of the Tunisia-Africa business council (TABC), was one of the panellists on the first day of the Africa Investment Forum, currently being held in Rabat, Morocco.
Taking part on 4 December 2024 in a workshop entitled ‘Empowering African Contractors: Accelerating Infrastructure Development in Africa and the Caribbean’, Anis Jaziri announced the TABC’s new initiative, the launch in 2025 of the Tunisian Consortium for African Development (Tudac), which will bring together several of Tunisia’s leading economic operators in the infrastructure, energy, sanitation and telecoms sectors to work together on structuring projects.
The Chairman of TABC underlined the experience of Tunisian companies in the field of infrastructure projects and the excellent work that has been done, while ‘having to deal with the complexity of accessing markets, particularly in a very high level of international competition, especially from China, but also from Europe and Turkey’.
He maintained that this Consortium was important because it also enabled Tunisian companies to group together, by bringing together several trades, which will enable them to tackle larger and more complex markets, but also to find financing. ‘This has already been done in Egypt and has borne fruit’, he said.
