Kenya to host ATIDI’s 26th AGM following quarter century anniversary
ATIDI has supported over US$ 93 billion in trade and investment across Africa since 2001 and the capital raise will strengthen its capacity and impact
NAIROBI, June 21, 2026 — The African Trade & Investment Development Insurance [ATIDI] will hold its 26th Annual General Meeting [AGM] from June 30-July 3, 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya. The AGM will proceed under the theme: “Empowering Africa: Risk Managed, Growth Unlocked”
ATIDI is the continent’s largest provider of trade credit and political risk insurance to companies, investors and lenders interested in doing business in Africa.
A key supporter of the African Continental Free Trade Area [AfCFTA], its initiatives have strengthened energy security, advanced climate resilience, and contributed to facilitating Agenda 2063 and SDGs while flagship programmes like the Portfolio Risk Sharing Agreement [PoRSA] have enabled financial institutions to extend credit to underserved businesses while the Regional Liquidity Support Facility [RLSF], has rewritten the rules around payment risk in Africa’s energy sector.
This year’s AGM is significant as ATIDI celebrates its 25 years of existence and steps into its next phase of growth and impact in the wake of the African Development Bank board’s approval of US$ 125 million investment in ATIDI.
The AGM will be hosted under the high patronage of the host country’s Head of State, President William Samoei Arap Ruto, and will bring together government delegations from ATIDI’s 24 member states and institutional shareholders, as well as high-level representatives from business and industry, institutional shareholders, development finance institutions and strategic partners to reflect on progress, strengthen partnerships and shape the organisation’s future.
Kenya has been one of ATIDI’s most significant beneficiaries, with cumulative support since inception of over US$ 7 billion with US$ 960 million support mobilised between 2024–2026.
What to expect
The AGM will open with a Gala Dinner hosted by the National Treasury, Republic of Kenya, then feature an opening ceremony of the 26th Annual General Meeting, a closed session for ATIDI shareholders and invited observers with presentations of ATIDI’s 2025 results, high-level strategic dialogues, robust investor engagement and excursions.
A key highlight will be the Leaders’ Panel featuring Heads of State and Senior development finance leaders who will explore how African institutions can work together to mobilise capital, lower financing costs and accelerate the continent’s industrial transformation agenda.
Commenting on the AGM and significance of Kenya as host country, Manuel Moses, Chief Executive Officer of ATIDI said: “ATIDI is honoured to partner with the Government of Kenya in advancing the country’s development agenda through innovative risk mitigation and credit enhancement solutions. Our impact remains grounded in a commitment to driving resilient, inclusive and forward-looking growth across the continent.”
