africa's infrastructure
DESCRIPTION
This paper focuses on infrastructure and economic growth links in low income countries, and identifies the challenges for sustainable development finance.TRANSCRIPT
Africa”s Infrastructure Tony Addison (UNU-WIDER) P.B. Anand (University of Bradford)
The Challenge
• Africa has high growth (> 5% on average): % of poor falling (48%), but numbers s?ll rising (400 mn)
• High spa?al inequality -‐ weakly integrated markets • unplanned urbaniza?on (informality) & conges?on • Remote rural regions (+ low-‐popula?on density) • Growth driven by natural resource boom; economies remain undiversified
• (But: varia?on -‐ from Guinea-‐Bissau to South Africa)

Infrastructure funding gap
• Africa below global averages in infrastructure • Annual need: capital investment & maintenance spending required – around $90 bn
• Annual gap: around $40 bn, so less than half the need is funded
• Central government (tax) funds lion’s share: $30 bn; private sector provides $9bn; aid (ODA) $ 3-‐4 bn; & non-‐OECD external finance $2-‐3 bn
Mobilize More Finance
• Sovereign Wealth Funds – limited financing • Ins?tu?onal investors – limited financing • Few instruments for them to invest in: infrastructure bonds underdeveloped
• Progress: Africa Finance Corpora?on – public & private shareholders: issuing infrastructure bonds
• Kenya infrastructure bonds
Impact of Limited Infrastructure
• Erra?c power supply – 30 countries have regular power disrup?ons: hits SMEs (Nigeria especially bad, but also South Africa in 2008)
• Transport system weak – fragments markets – impedes food-‐security (1 in 3 malnourished)
• Ports: inefficient, long-‐wai?ng ?mes to load • One bright spot: mobile telecommunica?ons (& mobile banking)

High Returns to Infrastructure
• Social rate of return is high & non-‐marginal • especially if poor are given high weight in benefits • if all of Africa caught up with Mauri?us (regional infrastructure leader) per capita growth would rise by 2.2 percentage points
• Connects to NEW PRODUCTIVE SECTORS: crea?on of higher value added: manufacturing; services; high-‐value processed agriculture (“new industrial policy”)
Appraisal of infrastructure is weak
• Conven?onal CBA weak – network effects, spa?al spillovers, agglomera?on effects especially important
• Regional development – pan-‐African transport & energy networks • In Low-‐income countries: adopt a more conserva?ve approach to
project selec?on? Can’t absorb big mistakes – opportunity costs higher than in advanced economies (& avoid debt, macro-‐instability)
• Paradox: Development economics has moved away from these big ques?ons: RCTs -‐ ‘randomistas’ (focus on human development investments in educa?on & health led by MDGs)
• Yet, a healthier & beper educated popula?on needs employment • Structural transforma?on to generate jobs, requires large-‐scale
infrastructure investment
Infrastructure: Dilemmas & Risks
• Environmental impact of infrastructure projects • Climate change impact – build robustness into infrastructure (UNU-‐WIDER project: combining bio-‐physical models & CGEs: detail at www.wider.unu.edu)
• Dilemma: southern Africa abundant in coal – how to get investment into renewables?
• Very low private investment in renewables in Africa: high investment costs (but poten?al: hydropower from DRC, geothermal in Great Lakes)
Using Natural Resource Rents
• Primary commodi?es dominate exports: oil & gas accounts for more than 50% of Africa’s exports by value (Nigeria, Angola & now Ghana + new East African producers)
• Task: turn natural resource wealth into las?ng wealth – human capital + infrastructure
• to diversify the economy, create inclusive growth • Growth then raises domes?c revenue base + private investment to finance more infrastructure
