Infrastructure Financing Trends in Africa – 2017 is the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa’s (ICA’s) annual report on how financial resources are being mobilised to facilitate the development of the continent’s transport, water and sanitation, energy and ICT sectors.The ICA is a major initiative to accelerate progress to meet the urgent infrastructure needs of Africa in support of economic growth and development. It addresses both national and regional constraints to infrastructure development with an emphasis on regional infrastructure, recognising the challenges at this scale.
The Consortium is intended to make its members more effective at supporting infrastructure by pooling efforts in selected areas such as information sharing, project development and good practices. Over the years the report has become an important document for presenting in a consistent manner how finance is being mobilised to develop infrastructure across the energy, ICT, transport, and water and sanitation sectors. It also identifies emerging trends on how resources are mobilised effectively to accelerate Africa’s infrastructure development.
