International Benchmarking of South Africa's Infrastructure Performance

The paper provides a first systematic, comprehensive benchmarking of South Africa's infrastructure performance in four major sectors--electricity, water and sanitation, information and communication technology, and transportation--against the relevant group of comparator countries using a new W...

Specifically, the paper seeks to answer a number of relevant questions: How does South Africa compare on major indicators of infrastructure sector performance against the relevant country groups? What do outcome indicators tell us about the relative strengths and weaknesses of South Africa's infrastructure compared with various income and geographical comparator groups of countries? Where are the largest deviations-positive and negative-from the benchmarks and other comparators? And how does one interpret some of these comparisons to be useful for policy purposes? 2012-06-22T14:47:18Z 2012-06-22T14:47:18Z 2006-02 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2006/02/6553756/international-benchmarking-south-africas-infrastructure-performance http://hdl.handle.net/10986/8768 English Policy Research Working Paper; No. 3830 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Africa South Africa
