But a growing share of the region's infrastructure finance is now coming from nontraditional sources. Leading this trend is non-Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) financiers, chiefly China, India, and Arab countries. While Arab funds have been operating in Africa for decades, China and India began to step up their involvement in the early 2000s. Flows from these non-OECD sources are now broadly comparable to traditional development assistance in dollars committed. The largest flows have gone to power especially hydropower and rail transport. 2012-08-13T12:13:22Z 2012-08-13T12:13:22Z 2008-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2008/10/10201096/changing-landscape-infrastructure-finance-africa-nontraditional-sources-take-growing-role http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10585 English Gridlines; No. 43 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Africa
