PUBLIC, PRIVATE OR BOTH? FUNDING THE MAJOR PROJECTS

摘要

IN JANUARY 2020, the African Union Development Agency said African governments were the main source of infrastructure financing, with US$37.5bn (37 per cent of total commitments), followed by China with US$25.7bn (25 per cent of total commitments), while the private sector only contributed with US$11.8bn (12 per cent of total commitments). It would therefore like to see more private sector investment, as would many African countries. They continue to rely on traditional, with a few unconventional, mechanisms to fund projects.
