Abstract
Weak infrastructure is a critical bottleneck in Africa’s development after decades of under-investment. Sound infrastructure would contribute significantly to achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Changes in climate will stress current infrastructure, exacerbating existing weaknesses and forcing major programmes of renewal and replacement, well-supported with finance and technology and implemented by skilled workforces. Infrastructural planning will have to incorporate the concerns over the new weather and climate risks. Capacity-building and much improved climate information will be required, along with greater exchange of best practices throughout Africa, as advocated in the Climate for Development in Africa (ClimDevAfrica) programme.
