| Summary: | In Africa. many now seem to agree that
developing infrastructure is critical for reducing poverty
and promoting sustained economic growth, that the private
sector has an essential contribution to make in this effort,
and that while expanding the private sector's
participation in infrastructure is challenging under any
circumstances, it is more difficult in Africa than anywhere
else. This new view has led to a surge in demand for
assistance from the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory
Facility (PPIAF), and PPIAF is responding through a strategy
combining its traditional upstream work with a greater focus
on innovative new approaches to private participation in infrastructure. |
