Dakar Financing Summit High-Level Panel 2 Session 3: enabling Policy Environment to Enhance Infrastructure Investment and Bankability

Abstract

There is consensus that Africa needs to do more in mobilizing resources to implement its infrastructure projects. However, several obstacles have to be tackled before Africa can fully harness its domestic resource potential for infrastructure development. Most importantly, the policy, legal and regulatory environment underpinning infrastructure financing in Africa needs to be enhanced – and this, essentially, is the focus of this Session.
