| description |
Improvements in infrastructure in all
parts of Sudan in recent years have had a strong impact on
per capita growth, contributing 1.7 percentage points.
Consistent with trends in other countries, the information
and communication (ICT) revolution that swept Africa
contributed the most to Sudan. Raising the infrastructure
endowment of all parts of Sudan to that of the region's
best performer, Mauritius, could boosts annual growth by
about 3.5 percentage points. Sudan has invested heavily in
infrastructure in recent years, with some notable
achievements. Power generation capacity tripled in just a
few years, rising from around 800 megawatts (MW) in 2005 to
2,687MW in 2007, with a shift toward hydropower.
Nevertheless, service reliability remains an issue. In ICT,
Sudan has made enormous strides in liberalizing the sector
and as a result has attracted significant private capital.
Mobile penetration soared from less than 1 percent in 2000
to 33 percent in 2009. Recent connectivity to an undersea
fiber-optic cable has led to expansions in access,
improvements in quality, and reduction in prices. Looking
ahead, Sudan's most pressing infrastructure challenges
lie in the water and transport sectors. Sudan's
infrastructure development has so far had a national focus,
and there is much that remains to be done to achieve greater
regional integration. While internal road corridors are
developed, connectivity with neighbors is largely absent.
Sudan has a natural gateway to the sea through Port Sudan
but the port's performance is severely hindered by long
dwell times, high costs, and capacity constraints. Looking
further ahead, Sudan has the potential to be a major
hydropower exporter if additional capacity could be
developed and transmission links with neighboring Nile Basin
countries strengthened. |
