Abstract

The ECA, acting through the Regional Integration, Infrastructure and Trade Division, is playing a role as co-chair of the PIDA Working Group. This Group is currently providing technical guidance in the preparation of a “Procurement Policy framework on cross-border infrastructure development”, in the context of the implementation of the PIDA Priority Action Plan by Regional Economic Communities and national implementing agencies. Such a policy framework is necessary to harmonize and facilitate cross-border infrastructure project implementation.
