| description |
The Africa Infrastructure Country
Diagnostic (AICD) has gathered and analyzed extensive data
on infrastructure in around 40 Sub-Saharan countries,
including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The
results have been presented in reports covering different
areas of infrastructure ICT, irrigation, power, transport,
water and sanitation and different policy areas, including
investment needs, fiscal costs, and sector performance.
This report presents the key AICD findings for the DRC,
allowing the country's infrastructure situation to be
benchmarked against that of its African peers. Given that
the DRC is a fragile state trying to catch up with other
low-income countries (LICs) in the region, both
fragile-state and LIC African benchmarks will be used to
evaluate the DRC's situation. Detailed comparisons will
also be made with immediate regional neighbors in Central
Africa. Several methodological issues should be borne in
mind. First, because of the cross-country nature of data
collection, a time lag is inevitable. The period covered by
the AICD runs from 2001 to 2006. Most technical data
presented are for 2006 (or the most recent year available),
while financial data are typically averaged over the
available period to smooth out the effect of short-term
fluctuations. Second, in order to make comparisons across
countries, indicators had to be standardized to place the
analysis on a consistent basis. This means that some of the
indicators presented here may be slightly different from
those that are routinely reported and discussed at the
country level. During the period from 2001 to 2005, per
capita economic growth in DRC was on average 2.1 percent
higher than during the period from 1991 to 1995. Despite
this improvement, growth levels, which oscillated between 4
and 8 percent in the early 2000s, still fell short of the
sustained 7 percent per year needed to meet the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs). Improved telecommunications
infrastructure has been the main driver of this change,
contributing 1.1 percentage points to the country's per
capita growth rate. Deficiencies in power infrastructure, on
the other hand, held back per capita growth by 0.25
percentage point over this period. |
