The aim of this digital artifact is to inform the general public, particularly the Central African States, about the different financing options available to the World Bank Group through its International Development Association (IDA) in its Private Sector Window (PSW). We present a practical example of how IDA uses its PSW funding strategy as a solution for the economic recovery of Fragile and Conflict-affected States (FCS) such as the Central African Republic. Finally, as sustainable development is a participatory process, we present some premises on which these poor countries or FCS must work in order to allow an effective exit from poverty and underdevelopment to prosperity.

What financial tools do African countries have at their disposal to finance infrastructure projects? Exploring the role of development finance in addressing Africa’s infrastructure needs
Final project unlocking investment & finance in emerging markets and develo...Damian Attah
Nigeria's GDP has been growing in a slower pace compared to the population growth rate of 2.6%. The year-on-year budget deficit and the slow growth in government revenue has continued to constrain investment in critical social and physical infrastructure that will be needed to be on the path of economic growth. The ineffective fiscal framework and erosion of social trust in government spending has resulted to a tax to GDP ratio of less than 1% compared to the minimum requirement of 15% recommended for an emerging nation like Nigeria. The country's current debt profile of over $73billion and the allocation of 23% of the annual budget to debt servicing makes additional loans quite unsustainable. Funding the critical sectors that will create a transformative growth will require the crowding in of required financing from both the public and private sources and the unlocking of investment opportunities that will attract FDI, ODA and OOF finance. Posing as a government official that is exploring the option of attracting public, private and multilateral funding, the slides seeks to address the following:
(a) What are the estimated financing needs for the country’s development?
(b) Which sources of finance are available to you international and domestically, from both public and private sources?
(c) How will the country access these?
(d) How will you work with multilateral development banks to address barriers to accessing these sources of finance?
Africa has enjoyed a decade of high growth, especially south of the Sahara, but this is now placing an increasing strain on the infrastructure stock. While investors, companies and donors have poured financing into roads, railways, information and communications technology (ICT), water and power, there remains a significant financing gap.
As much as US$93bn is required annually to meet the continent’s infrastructure needs through to 2020, with half of that amount currently being met. That leaves a large gap for investors to fill, including sovereign wealth funds, multilateral lenders, individual companies and private consortia. Are the companies and investors based in the cash-rich Gulf region, with its cultural and historical ties to Africa, positioned to participate?

“Unlocking Financial Opportunities for the Attainment of Sustainable Development in Africa” explored the prevailing experience of Africa about the need for financial resources, as well as the obstacles and modalities requires to successfully mobilise financial resources for the development of infrastructure in Africa towards the attainment of SDGs by 2030. The piece is designed to give a quick run-down of the essentials of infrastructural development as well as financial mobilisation for policymakers, development practitioners and other stakeholders.
The author presents the finance needs of Nigeria for development. He also went further to show main source of finance that are sustainable in the long-term and the mode of accessing them.
In identifying the difficulties that exists when raising finance, he proposes measures through which the government can eliminate barriers to raising finance.
Throughout the past decade, Sub-Saharan African (Africa) nations have witnessed a marked increase in the number of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects. PPPs have been utilized in the sectors of energy, transport, water and sewerage, information and communication technologies, health, and meteorology, among others. PPPs will remain an important instrument for African leaders as they seek to solve the development challenges of the future.

OSAA @OECD Side Event #FFD3 Concept Note
1. Third International Conference on Financing for Development
14-17 July 2015, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
High-Level Side Event on ‘Leveraging pension funds for Africa’s
infrastructure development’
Date: 15 July 2015
Time: 3.30-6.00pm
Venue: ECA Conference Centre, Africa Hall, Addis Ababa
Draft Concept Note
1. Introduction
The International Community will be meeting on 13-16 July 2015, in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia for the Third International Conference on Financing for Development to reaffirm
commitments on financing for development made in Monterrey and Doha in 2002 and 2008,
respectively. In the resolution on the draft modalities for the Conference adopted by the
General Assembly in 2014, Member States have underscored the importance of exploiting
synergies and taking maximum advantage of the complementarity between the Third
International conference on financing for development and the post-2015 development
agenda, which will culminate in the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
at the UN Summit in September 2015. Thus the Third International Conference on Financing
for Development is expected to adopt a comprehensive package of commitments for
financing sustainable development.
In the context of Africa, one of the important sustainable development priorities for is
infrastructure development. Through the adoption of Agenda 2063, African leaders
underlined the vitally important role of infrastructure development in the realization of the
African Union’s vision of a peaceful, integrated and prosperous Africa. The Programme for
Infrastructure Development (PIDA) will serve as the framework for the implementation of
Agenda 2063 infrastructure priority. The objective of the Ten Year Action plans for the
implementation of Agenda 2063 is to develop world class infrastructure that criss-crosses
Africa. Over the next 10 years African countries will be working toward the implementation
2. 2
of the trans-African Highway Missing link, opening African skies to airlines, increasing
electricity generation and distribution by 50% by 2020, having all power pools operational
by 2020, and increasing broad band accessibility by 50% by 2020. The Dakar Agenda for
Action adopted at the Dakar Financing Summit for Africa’s Infrastructure in June 2014
sought to leverage public-private partnerships for the implementation of 16 regional
infrastructure projects.
African countries have stepped up efforts to mobilise domestic resources for
infrastructure development. For example, according to the NEPAD Agency, more than half
of the $45 billion spent on infrastructure development in Africa in 2009 came mainly from
African governments with the remainder from private sector (20 per cent), ODA from
traditional development partners (7.9 %) and Non-OECD financiers (5.5 %). Efforts are also
undertaken to strengthen the enabling environment for infrastructure investment, such as
through unbundling vertically integrated supply chains in network infrastructure sectors and
the setting up of specialised Public-Private Partnership Units. Numerous African countries
have used the Policy Framework for Investment (PFI) through the NEPAD-OECD Africa
Investment Initiative to inform such investment-related reforms.1
Drawing on the application
of the PFI to the infrastructure sectors of over 20 developing and emerging economies, a
flagship OECD report2
has moreover been taken as starting point by the G20 Development
Working Group (DWG), for a project which brings together the OECD, the World Bank
Group and other key international organisations in developing a set of policy indicators
which developing countries – including in Africa – can use on a voluntary basis to identify,
prioritise and track reforms on the enabling environment for infrastructure investment.
Despite these efforts, the funding gap for infrastructure development is enormous.
Based on the World Bank estimates, roughly $50 billion will be needed per annum to close
the funding gap. Poor infrastructure hobbles growth. It is estimated that Africa loses roughly
3 per cent of its GDP due to lack of energy. And unless African countries make progress in
bridging the infrastructure gap, they are unlikely to meet the goals and objectives of Agenda
1
The PFI has been used by over 25 developing countries and regional economic communities, including
SADC and ASEAN, to improve investment climates. The PFI was updated in 2015 through a global Task
Force and includes a specific chapter on infrastructure investment as part of the financing for development
equation.

2063. Increased investment in infrastructure will likely lead to increased productivity with
attendant benefits on competitiveness, diversification and employment creation.
The application of the PFI by African governments shows that investors are not fully
seizing opportunities. This is either due to lack of information on investment opportunities,
weaknesses or gaps in the enabling environment for investment in the sector as well as the
overall negative investor sentiment toward Africa which may not be justified by
fundamentals. For example, the World Bank estimates show that roughly $90 billion per
annum will be required for investment in infrastructure over the next ten years. This calls for
concerted efforts from African countries to mobilise financing from all sources, and to use
available financing and policy instruments.
Given the financing challenge and the huge investment requirement for infrastructure
development, African governments will need to explore how to harness their pension funds
for infrastructure development. The domestic pension fund industry represents an important
untapped source for financing infrastructure development. The growth of Africa’s pension
funds has been remarkable in the last decade. Total value of Africa’s pension funds was
estimated at $350 billion in 2013. This is projected to increase to $600 billion by 2020 and
further to $7 trillion by 2050.3
One of the key driving forces behind the phenomenal growth of Africa’s pension
funds is demographics, and increasing urbanisation which has led to a larger middle-income
population. However, the number of contributors and the per capita amount contributed is
small. Coverage is also small by international standard, averaging 7.5 per cent for Africa.
Given the long-term maturity of their liabilities, pension funds can provide reliable financing
for long-term development projects that normally face difficulty attracting suitable
investment.
Despite this huge potential source of capital for development, African pension funds
are not adequately channelled toward financing infrastructure projects. Perhaps, the notable
exception is South Africa where the Public Investment Corporation has been investing large
sums of pension fund resources in infrastructure development. The willingness of African
pension funds to invest in sectors such as infrastructure depends on their “understanding of

Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.
4. 4
the risks involved, their assessment of how the asset class fits with their investment policy
and strategy, as well as their ability to identify managers they are willing to back”4
.
Furthermore, existing regulations governing the pension fund industry may also affect
incentives for pension fund to invest in infrastructures. Some African governments, for
example, set minimum that should be invested in domestic market or in government debt.
Others impose upper limits on investment in specific sector and or assets. This limits the
choice of investment opportunities for pension funds.
As a complement to measures to leverage existing domestic resources, including from
pension funds, African countries will need to continue regulatory reforms in order to improve
investment climate so as to encourage private investment (domestic and foreign) into
infrastructure. The infrastructure sector presents specific risks to private investors. Since
private participation in infrastructure delivery is a relatively recent form of procurement in
many countries, governments do not necessarily have the experience and capacity needed to
effectively manage these risks. Beyond case-by-case project preparation and financing,
concrete, implementation-oriented guidance that can help governments identify and manage
reforms is needed to make the broader infrastructure investment environment more open to
private participation. Well-targeted policy reforms can increase the quality and quantity of
private investment in infrastructure, a significant complement to public investment.
Apart from regulatory issues, other problems that bedevil infrastructure development
in many developing countries relates to poor investment effectiveness, including poor
management and underperforming service provision. Inefficiencies such as overemployment,
poor bill collection, system losses, and irregular maintenance practices by State Owned
Enterprises in infrastructure markets, for example, cost about USD 12 billion annually in
Africa – detracting public resources from amelioration of infrastructure networks5
.
Conversely, the potential efficiency and cost gains via private participation in infrastructure
can contribute towards reducing the amount of subsidies required to support infrastructure
service provision when full cost recovery pricing cannot be achieved.6

African countries will have to put measures in place to unleash the potential and
growth of pension funds and leverage these vast resources to finance infrastructure
development. As underscored in the Marrakesh Consensus adopted at the ninth African
Development Forum on 16 October 2014 at Marrakech, Morocco, there is a need for African
countries to establish strong and efficient regulatory frameworks that would encourage
growth through utilization of contractual savings, including pension and insurance funds for
infrastructure development. This will be crucial for meeting the Sustainable Development
Goals in Africa and the objectives of the African Union Agenda 2063. Against this backdrop,
the high level meeting will be organised at the margins of the Third International Conference
on Financing for Development slated for 13-16 July 2015. It is expected that the outcome of
the meeting will feed into the Third International Conference on Financing for Development.
2. Objectives of the High-Level Side Event
The objectives of the side event are three-folds:
1. To highlight the development financing priorities of African countries in
infrastructure;
2. To explore how African countries can best leverage financing, including from pension
fund industries, for financing infrastructure development; and
3. To identify policies that can be pursued to promote private financing and participation
in Africa’s infrastructure development.
3. Expected outcome
The expected outcome of the meeting is to come up with clear policy
recommendations that would contribute toward harnessing private resources for financing
infrastructure development. The outcome would inform the Third Conference on Financing
for Development in Addis Ababa of July 2015, and guide future work of OSAA and other
stakeholders in supporting African countries in their pursuit of sustainable development,
particularly infrastructure development.
