This paper from Australia's independent Future Directions International (FDI) research institute argues that, as Africa looks to exploit its enormous hydroelectric potential, diligent management of large-scale dam projects will be required if they are not to create more problems than they solve, while consideration needs to be given to the interaction between food, water and energy security if the continent is to achieve a sustainable balance between those three resources.
The United States and China have different philosophies towards supporting Africa's infrastructure development. China adopts a more state-led approach, spearheaded by state-owned enterprises and policy banks. The US is more willing to let private companies and the market take the lead on commercial development, while the US government itself puts more emphasis on the continent’s capacity building and governance challenges. But can the two countries join forces and cooperate to advance Africa's development?
Le financement du développement des infrastructures en Afrique est le thème spécial de l'édition 2018 des «Perspectives économiques en Afrique» de la Banque africaine de développement. Le rapport souligne que les besoins en infrastructures de l'Afrique se situent entre 130 et 170 milliards de dollars par an, avec un déficit de financement de 68 à 108 milliards de dollars. Indiquant que les investisseurs institutionnels gèrent plus de 100 billions de dollars d'actifs à l'échelle mondiale, le rapport suggère qu'une petite fraction de l'épargne mondiale excédentaire et des ressources à faible rendement serait suffisante pour combler le déficit de financement de l'Afrique et financer des infrastructures productives et rentables.
