For several months, Kenya seemed prepared to host the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi from May 11 to 12, with banners and huge billboards bearing images of President William Ruto and French President Emmanuel Macron dotting the city.
In fact, months before the Summit, President Ruto announced that one of the flagship projects intended to ensure the event was successful and talk of the continent was the construction of a mega arena at Bomas of Kenya.
On December 11, 2025, Ruto revealed that the Bomas International Convention Complex (BICC) would be completed by April 2026 to host the historic Africa Forward Summit in May.
