This report defines challenges and suggested actions aimed at unlocking significant institutional investment for infrastructure projects in developing countries, with special emphasis on Africa’s regional and national infrastructure. The key recommendations in this report are based on multiple inputs: expert studies, surveys of institutional investors, and input from public and private sector participants involved in the development and finance of infrastructure assets.
Summarized extracts from this paper were provided by the NEPAD Secretariat at the second meeting of the Continental Business Network (CBN) in May 2016 as part of the African Development Bank Annual Meetings in Lusaka, Zambia, and updated for presentation in July 2016 to African Heads of State at the 27th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union Heads of State in Kigali, Rwanda.
