About the ICA 

The Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA) was 

launched at the G8 Gleneagles summit in 2005. 

Leading African organisations and aid donors attended 

the inaugural meeting in London on 6 October 2005. 

The Consortium’s mission is to help improve the lives 

and economic well-being of millions of people across 

the African continent through support to scaling up 

investment for infrastructure development from both 

public and private sources. Many African countries 

lack the essential building blocks of economic progress 

such as (well-maintained) roads and railways, access to 

electricity, the Internet and mobile phones and water for 

drinking and food production, and not least sanitation. 

The ICA also works to help remove some of the technical 

and political challenges in order to make it easier to 

build more infrastructure and improve the coordination 

of activities among the members on the one side, 

and between them and other significant sources of 

infrastructure finance, such as China, India, Arab 

Partners and African Regional Development Banks on 

the other side. 

The ICA is supported by a secretariat hosted by the 

African Development Bank. 

ICA bilateral members include the G8 countries, i.e. 

Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, United 

States, United Kingdom and multilateral institutions such 

as the African Development Bank Group, European 

Commission, European Investment Bank, Development 

Bank of Southern Africa and the World Bank Group. 

ICA recently decided to extend membership to all G20 

countries.

1. Foreword 

I am delighted to present the ICA 2011 Annual Report, which analyses the commitments and disbursement flows 

from ICA Members and other partners, towards the development of African Infrastructure. This unique and valuable report 

charts commitment trends over the past six years, since the establishment of the ICA, in a conscious effort to map and 

subsequently target infrastructure commitment and disbursement gaps, shortfalls and opportunities. 

The 2010 Annual Report had highlighted maintained investment resilience in the financing for African Infrastructure and 

had suggested that the increase of funding levels could be attributed to strong financial mechanisms put in place by ICA 

Members following the 2009 global financial crisis. 

However, the overall message from 2011 is less positive. Over 2011, the year in which the European sovereign debt crisis 

deepened, ICA Members’ financial commitments to African infrastructure plummeted by 59%, the main cause of which 

can be attributed to the 86% decline of Non-ODA to Sub-Saharan Africa. ODA commitments to North African infrastructure 

declined by 27% while non-concessional lending to the sector declined sharply by 89% as North African investment 

markets became unstable and un-predictable during the Arab Spring. 

Consequently, significant and urgent financing needs remain. The Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa 

(PIDA) which was endorsed by the African Union (AU) in January 2012, predicts that, at the current rate, funding sources for 

infrastructure on the continent could optimistically amount to USD30bn per annum by 2020, whereas delivery of the PIDA 

is expected to cost USD68bn per annum through to 2020. 

Encouraging, supporting and promoting increased investment in infrastructure in Africa remains at the core of the ICA’s 

mandate and is key to closing the infrastructure financing gap. Furthermore, the targeted regional nature of the projects 

which make up the PIDA require a large degree of cooperation and coordination by all involved in the financing and policy 

implementation. The work that the ICA is doing to analyse and regulate Project Financing Facilities, promote infrastructure 

understanding through the Knowledge Centre and open communications channels between various stakeholders is both 

pertinent and essential for the success of Africa’s infrastructure development. 

The ICA is on track to meet the 2010-2012 Strategic Business Plan (SBP) targets, and the current review and extension 

of the SBP to 2013 is welcomed. Expansion under the G20 agenda will facilitate the delivery of the ICA mandate and 

strengthen the presence of the ICA Secretariat as an infrastructure development catalyst. As host of the ICA Secretariat, 

the AfDB will continue to be a strong supporter of the ICA and its Business Plan. 

I would like to thank the ICA Secretariat for compiling and analysing the data which has been generously and comprehensively 

provided by ICA members and partners. Furthermore I would like to express my appreciation for the ICA Secretariat’s 

work under the ICA Strategic Business Plan, and thus their contribution to the scaling up of investments in African 

infrastructure.

2. Key Messages and Findings 

1. In 2011 overall external financial support to 

African infrastructure returned to the same levels as in 

2009 (USD39.6bn) after a significant increase of 44 % 

(USD55.9bn) in 2010. Total commitment for infrastructure 

in Africa in 2011 was USD41.5bn – 26% less than 

4. Private sector commitments: PPIAF’s 3 quantification 

shows signs of slow down with private sector 

commitments falling by 17% to USD11.5bn. Private 

sector commitments were at a similar level to ICA members’ 

commitments in 2011. 

the previous year. 

5. Chinese commitment marks another peak in 

bilateral support, increasing again by an exceptional 

66% to approximately USD14.9bn 4 , which compensated 

the decrease of ICA Members’ commitments in 

2011. 

2. Commitments made by ICA members 

decreased by 59% to USD11.9bn 1 , compared to 

USD29.1bn in 2010. This, in part, can be attributed to 

a deferral of international commitments by some members 

in order to devote more attention to their respective 

domestic economies. It is probable that these deferrals 

were an effect of the European sovereign debt 

crisis. 

3. ICA Members reported on total portfolio 

sizes for Africa, including non-infrastructure commitments. 

These accounted for USD31.4bn 2 in 2011, 

down 46% from USD57.6bn in the previous year. Bilateral 

and multilateral donors made up 87%, and 78% 

6. Other support, including commitments from 

Arab Funds, India and of the African Regional Development 

Banks, totalled USD3.2bn. In 2011, Arab Funds 

stabilized their share of infrastructure finance to Africa 

at USD2.9bn. 

of total contributions, respectively, in the form of ODA. 

Non-concessional lending experienced a dramatic decline.

7. Commitments to regional infrastructure: 

East Africa received 25% (USD2.7bn) of total commitments, 

and most of it from key donors such as the 

AfDB (USD0.5bn) and France (USD0.4bn). North Africa 

was the second largest recipient region with 20% 

9. Hard versus soft infrastructure: ICA Members’ 

commitments to African infrastructure went mostly 

into hard infrastructure projects. Only 12% of the total 

resources (USD1.3bn) were allocated to soft infrastructure 

projects. 

(USD2.2bn). Almost USD2.5bn, representing 21% of total 

ICA finance went to regional infrastructure projects. 

This is a decline considering the total amount, but an 

increase in proportion, growing from 19% in 2009, 13% 

a year later, to 21% in 2011. 

10. Disbursement: Ten out of thirteen ICA members 

reported disbursements 5 of USD8.7bn in 2011 – 

experiencing therefore a slight decrease compared with 

USD9.7bn in 2010. Donors disbursed 43% (USD3.7bn) 

to transport projects which is a 55% increase compared 

to previous year. The energy sector (USD2.8bn) 

received 21% less than in 2010, while water sector disbursements 

increased by 14% (USD1.9bn). 

8. Commitments by sector: After two years of increasing 

commitments for the energy sector and power 

sector, peaking at USD12.9bn in 2010, support of energy 

projects decreased by 77% to USD3.0bn in 2011. 

Another negative trend is observable for transport sector 

projects, where commitments dropped dramatically 

(by 45%) within one year, to USD3.8bn. Commitments 

to the water sector remain at a stable level (USD3.4bn), 

showing a slight decrease of 10%. 

11. Disbursement analysis: In 2011 commitments 

from ICA Members declined dramatically, this resulted 

in a higher disbursement to commitment rate. Improving 

disbursement rates remains a key challenge. In this 

context, the ICA Secretariat has qualitatively identified 

the following in this regard: (i) risks that led to disbursement 

delays; (ii) measures that address issues/risks 

identified; and (iii) suggestions to improve capacity at 

implementing agencies to enhance project preparation 

and implementation.

3. Preface 

The rational of the sixth annual report is to provide a 

summary of financial commitments and disbursements 

made by members of the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa 

(ICA) in 2011, and identifies year on year trends. It also 

discusses commitments to regional projects and support 

from other important sources funders, most notably China, 

the Arab Fund Coordination Group and African Regional 

Development Banks. The ICA Secretariat has compiled this 

report, based on a survey in the form of a questionnaire to 

ICA members and other partners as well as a web based 

literature review. 

The 2011 survey was aimed at recording both 2011 levels 

of commitments and disbursements to African infrastructure 

projects by ICA members (i.e. all funds and facilities). It was 

divided into four sections: the first section was based on 

quantitative data, followed by the section dealing with 

qualitative information. Both enquired about commitments 

and disbursements. The next sections explored nonconcessional 

flows versus ODA; soft infrastructure versus 

hard infrastructure commitments; regional breakdowns and 

commitments and disbursements in regional projects. 

The ICA Secretariat received most of the returned 

questionnaires in a complete and coherent form, although 

gaps were evident in allocating commitments or quantifying 

disbursements. For this reason, two different total amounts 

of commitments were used in the present report: (i) 

commitments by sector and region (Figure 8), amounting 

to USD10.8bn, of which USD1.1bn remained unallocated 

and (ii) total commitments, making up USD11.9bn for other 

figures. 

At the time of writing this report data from Russia, Italy, USA 

and DBSA were not fully available. Data for the previous 

years 2005 to 2010 were taken from the ICA Annual Reports 

(2006 to 2010). 

It is recommended that the present report should be read 

alongside the Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic 

(AICD), which was originally commissioned by the 

ICA, but has now successfully migrated to the African 

Development Bank, and was subsequently renamed the 

“Africa Infrastructure Knowledge Programme” (AIKP, www. 

infrastructureafrica.org). The AIKP provides an analysis of 

the state of infrastructure and investment needs in Africa 

based on demand, and from another perspective, provides 

insights on infrastructure and investment needs in a broader 

context. 

The ICA is now in the third and final year of its 2010-2012 

Strategic Business Plan, and as agreed at the Annual Meeting 

in Tunis in June 2012, the current SBP has been extended 

to the end of 2013. There is a consultancy agreement 

underway to review the Strategic Business Plan.

The Big Picture – External Financial Support to African Infrastructure 

Billions of Dollars 

Source: ICA 2012 

Figure 2 displays external financial support to African infrastructure from 2008 to 2011. Total commitments for 

infrastructure in Africa in 2011 sharply fell to USD41.5bn as compared to 2010, representing a significant decrease 

(26%) from the previous year’s figure (USD55.9bn). 

Commitments made by ICA members in 2011 amounted 

to USD11.9bn, 59% less than 2010 (USD29.1bn). The 

PPIAF 7 tracked in the Infrastructure Projects Database 

a similar figure for private sector commitments slightly 

below ICA members’ commitments at USD11.5bn. 

The largest source of commitments was from China, 

where bilateral support increased by 66% to reach 

approximately USD14.9bn 8 in 2011. There is no 

official information available on Chinese commitments 

to African infrastructure, and so this estimation is 

based on independent ICA research. The Secretariat 

has compiled a detailed list of projects with Chinese 

involvement in 2011, similar to the 2010 Annual Report. 

Results are presented in Annex 14 “Project list of 

Chinese commitments to African infrastructure projects 

in 2011”. 

Other support includes commitments from Arab Funds 

and African Regional Development Banks, totalling 

amount of USD3.2bn. Arab Funds aid to African 

infrastructure remained slightly below USD3.1bn. 

Support from African Regional Development Banks 

also fell to USD0.1bn 9 . ICA anticipated that Indian 

engagement would further decrease as low as 

USD0.05bn 10 in 2011.

The Big Picture – Trends 



A visualisation of trends from 2008 to 2011 is provided in Figure 3. It illustrates how commitments decreased in 

2011, from both ICA members and the private sector. While ICA members compensated for a reduction in private 

sector investment in 2009 and considerably strengthened their commitments to African infrastructure for the second 

consecutive year in 2010, the majority of ICA members´ 

contributions may have declined due to the aftermath 

of the European sovereign debt crisis. Consequently, 

China became the strongest bilateral supporter of 

infrastructure development on the continent. Regarding 

the North African region, it seems that Arab spring may 

have triggered an increase in the perceived political and 

economic risk of investment, thus prompting a decline 

or stagnation in financial commitments to infrastructure 

in the region.

ICA Total Commitments 2007-2011 



In 2011, ICA Members’ commitments to African 

infrastructure fell by 59% to USD11.9bn, compared to 

USD29.1bn in 2010. This downslide was caused by an 

86% decline of Non-ODA to SSA while ODA decreased 

only by a quarter in this region. Commitments to North 

Africa saw similar decreases: 27% in ODA and 89% 

in non-concessional lending. The figure given for 2011 

was USD1.0bn, without any regional specification. 

Figure 4 gives a detailed overview of the past five years 

starting in 2007. 

East Africa received 25% (USD2.7bn) of the total 

commitments from key donors such as AfDB (USD0.5bn) 

and France (USD0.4bn). North Africa ranks second with 

20% (USD2.2bn). France was the strongest supporter 

of this region with commitments up to USD0.5bn. 

The 2011 total commitment to infrastructure in the West 

Africa Region accounts for 19% (USD2.0bn), whereas 

it reached 16% (USD1.7bn) in the Central Africa Region 

and 13% (USD1.4bn.) in the Southern Africa Region 

without RSA. The RSA received the smallest share of 

commitments, 7% (USD0.7bn), though it should be 

noted that amounts equivalent to 9% (USD1.1bn) of 

total commitments were reported without a specified 

destination. 

Compared to the total commitment volume of ICA 

members, WB (UDS2.8bn.) is highest ranked, followed 

by France (USD2.3bn) and AfDB (USD2.0bn). A 

more detailed list in Annex 11: Commitments by ICA 

Members for Infrastructure Development in Africa by 

Region in 2011 provides further information on total ICA 

Members’ commitments.

Trends of ICA Total Commitments 2007-2011 



Figure 5 provides an overview of major trends from 

2007 to 2011, visualising growth outburst in 2009, 

when ICA donors scheduled USD7.2bn as ODA 

support for SSA, and North Africa experienced a 

similar growth in 2010 when non-ODA commitments 

peaked to USD7.0bn. In 2011 total ICA Members’ 

commitments were edged down to USD11.9bn, 

59% less than previous year. North Africa received 

a share of 18%, while 73% went to SSA, and the 

remainder representing 9% (USD1.0bn) were not 

allocated to any specific region. 

Further information on infrastructure commitments to 

Africa from 2007 to 2011, with a regional breakdown 

and a detailed analysis of the trends in 2011, can be

Trends of ICA Commitments to Infrastructure in Africa by Sector 2011 



After two years of increasing commitments for the energy 

sector finance peaking at USD12.9bn in 2010, support 

for energy projects decreased by 77% to USD3.0bn in 

2011. Transport sector projects have also been severely 

affected by declining commitments; down 45% from the 

previous year to USD3.8bn. Commitments to the water 

sector remain at USD3.4bn at a stable level despite a 

slight decrease (10%). ICT and Multi-Sector declined 

by 41% and 31% to USD0.2 and 0.5bn respectively. 

In 2011 the total amount of ICA assistance amounted 

to USD11.9bn, USD1.0bn of this amount was not 

allocated to a specific sector 12 . Further information on 

total ICA Members’ commitments is given in Annex 

12: Commitments by ICA Members for Infrastructure 

Development in Africa by Sector in 2011.

Given the ICA’s recent studies on Project Preparation 

and Border-Crossing Facilities, there has been an 

increasing focus from members in recent years on 

the importance of “soft infrastructure” to support 

the infrastructure sectors. 

For the 2011 Annual report, we asked Members 

to report on soft infrastructure commitments. 

Members indicated total soft infrastructure 

commitments of 11.5% (USD1.252bn) from the 

total USD10.873bn. Figure 15 shows detailed 

shares of soft infrastructure commitments by ICA 

Members.

8. Disbursements to African Infrastructure 

8.1. Quantitative Information 

This chapter appears for the third year in the ICA Annual Report. It is aimed at giving a more comprehensive picture 

of commitment, including an assessment of what is happening “on the ground”, by tracking how much is actually 

spent on infrastructure in Africa. 

The questionnaire distributed to ICA Members to help prepare this report, includes two discrete sections, the first on 

qualitative and the second on quantitative disbursements. Qualitative information is designed to help gain a better 

understanding of the reasons for delays in disbursement and categorise the issues around risks. Furthermore, 

the collection of qualitative information on disbursements gives an opportunity to establish estimates, identify 

bottlenecks and define measures that may help manage risk and issues. 

Data on disbursements was presented for the first time in the Annual Report 2009 in order to provide a bigger 

picture of the actual flow of financial support to the continent and allow first conclusions on reasons for delay. The 

ICA Secretariat plans to continue with the collection of information on disbursements and include the data in future 

reports. 

Reporting on disbursements in a standardised way is a complex and protracted exercise, as Members have 

different monitoring or accounting systems and varying financial years. The following figures should therefore to be 

considered as approximates.

Total USD8.7bn 



ICA Members reported disbursements amounting to USD8.7bn (Figure 17) for 2011, indicating a slight decrease 

when compared to USD9.7bn in 2010. Donors disbursed 43% (USD3.7bn) of the total amount to transport projects, 

reflecting a 55% increase compared to previous year. The energy sector (USD2.8bn) received 21% less than in 

2010 while water sector disbursements went up by 14% (USD1.9bn).

8.2. Qualitative Information 

The questions that were asked about qualitative information were open to encourage donors to describe what they 

would see as their normative modalities and financial arrangements. 

In the first question, donors were asked to identify risks that led to disbursement delays. The answers given are 

listed next to project phases for a better overview. 

Identified risks that led to disbursements delays 

Project preparation risks: 

Insufficient project quality at entry criteria 

Insufficient attention to project implementation by facilities 

Over optimistic planning during initial planning phases tending to raise wrong 

expectations regarding pace of disbursements 

Lack of baseline data and consistent indicators delaying project approval 

Rapid increases in overall portfolio commitments; 

Delays in preparing necessary documents on the part of Ministries/Agencies 

concerned of the recipient country related Loan Agreement (L/A), banking arrangements 

and invoices for disbursement 

Protracted loan negotiations 

Complicated co-financing arrangements: 

- Cross conditionality with other co-financiers on which donor has no control 

- Long Procurement processes due to different procedures for different cofinanciers 

Projects sponsors fail to address the conditions for making loans effective and 

Obtaining signed Memoranda of Understanding can be time consuming 

Project implementation risks: 

Project monitoring risks: 

Lack of adequate staffing within facilities 

Lack of capacity of implementing agencies 

Lack of readiness at entry 

Cost overrunning during implementation 

Conditions Precedent: 

- Slow implementation of Conditions Precedent (CPs) of the EIB Finance Contracts 

- Little control on a number Institutional related CPs (i.e. tariff increases, Government 

bill payments, etc) 

- The more complex the projects become (in particular in blending with grants), 

the more Conditions Precedent the borrowers have to satisfy, and the slower 

the disbursement rate becomes 

- Delays in achieving conditions prior to disbursement including Environmental 

and social obligations, securing all licences, land titles, etc. 

Cross-effectiveness conditions in projects with multiple donors 

Delays in tender due to long evaluation processes including financiers’ “no 

objection” 

Backloaded disbursement profiles for large infrastructure projects (studies and 

procurement processes in initial years with civil works and bulk of disbursements 

in later years); and 

Force majeure 

Long procurement procedures, lack of competition, weaknesses in financial, 

contractual management of National Authorities (as part of sector specific PFM 

issues) and project supervision; and 

Weak project management capacities 


36


The second question was aimed at identifying external factors (outside financial agreement) that led to a delays 

in disbursement. The answers provided can be divided into four categories or fields. 

External factors (outside financial agreement) that led to disbursements delays 

Capacities: 

Weak institutional capacity, i.e. of public sector borrowers (utilities) 

Approval processes: 

Procurement: 

Need for significant capacity building of implementing agencies, especially for 

the management of large-scale civil works procurement. 

Complex internal procedures - numerous government agencies need to be 

involved before a request for disbursement can be completed 

Client priorities 

Delays in requests from recipient organisations/projects. Slippage in project 

programmes and inadequate reporting 

Procurement procedures tend to become more and more cumbersome (on both 

sides, host governments as well as DFI); 

Procurement process management issues: 

- Increased cost of civil works above appraisal estimates 

- Weak country procurement capacity for large infrastructure projects, particularly 

in fragile states 

Delays in engaging consultants and procuring contract 

Delays in shipments of necessary equipment for construction 

Difficulties in buying local currencies; and 

Bids higher than budgeted, rebidding required. 

Political framework: 

Insufficient regulatory harmonization between countries; lack of coordination 

between facilities; administrative processes within facility hosts 

Sector Governance/PFM sector issues 

Environmental and social issues especially resettlement; and 

Political developments. 

37


The third question targeted measures that address the issues/risks identified in the first question. The results 

obtained from the returned questionnaires are outlined below: 

Measures that address issues/risks 

Factor risks in facility agreement: 

The majority of factors leading to delays in project disbursements should be 

addressed in the facility agreement, mainly in the form of covenants, representations 

and warranties, conditional precedents and definitions of events of default 

Setting aside contingency funds. 

Intensify monitoring: 

Intensify supervision with technical and financial audits 

Finance of PMU or consultant for supervision; and 

Implement a monitoring team that follows regularly and closely the disbursement 

period and updates financial projections and results. 

Implement a monitoring team that follows regularly and closely follows the 

disbursement period and updates financial projections and results; 

Improve project planning 

and design: 

Reducing projects’ complexity and streamlining procedures 

Anticipation of environmental and social risks before Board approval 

Improving projects’ results-orientation and analytical underpinnings 

Focusing on readiness for implementation 

Improving the quality of regional portfolio; and 

Using a front-loading approach where various procurement strings run in parallel 

would contribute towards arresting overly long procurement cycles. 


38


Poor or low capacity at implementing agencies may delay project implementation. The ICA Secretariat asked 

how these units could be supported prior to commitment in order to ensure timely completion, within budget and 

acceptable quality standards. The following suggestions were received: 

Support for implementing agencies 

Capacity building programs: 

Long-term, demand driven, suitable for specific sectors (no generic capacity 

building) 

Focus on enabling implementing agencies (particularly regional institutions) 

to execute actual financed activities in: (i) project formulation (ii) preparing the 

Resettlement Action Plans (RAPs) (iii) conducting detailed designs (Need of 

training more engineers) 

Grants and funding for complementary 

technical assistance 

(TA): 

Strengthening management oversight and operational support in legal, 

procurement, and financial matters 

Through sector dialogue and sector diagnosis, identification of the necessary 

institutional reforms needed for an increased institutional capacity including 

contract and asset management. 

For preparation work, studies, reviews and capacity building to ensure that 

tendering, construction and subsequent operations are satisfactorily managed 

Under an integrated approach with other development partners 

Via project support initiatives (such as IPPF, PPIAF) and Regional Facilities which 

can provide support at different stages of the project cycle 

Via accompanying measures project–based measures that run parallel with the 

investment loans/grant 

Strong project management 

unit with support from advisors 

and benefitting from 

secondements: 

Monitoring: 

Via call-down contracts proved to be useful for trouble-shooting, to back up the 

more predictable TA support arrangements. 

To assist in developing capacity in partner organisations 

To report directly to lenders on changes/requirements in terms of institutional 

capacity 

Financing of consulting services with a fairly broad mandate are often pivotal 

to ensuring timely completion in acceptable quality and within budget. Their 

importance increases with the complexity of an infrastructure project and is 

unrelated to capacity issues as it addresses specific, technical, one-off support 

Adequate monitoring arrangements (financial and physical); and 

Regular execution of technical and financial audits.

9. Other Finance Sources for African Infrastructure 

9.1. Private Sector 

The PPIAF “Private Participation in Infrastructure Database” 19 gives a snapshot of infrastructure projects in low and 

middle income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa according to the sector of their primary source of funding. This analysis 

reveals a financial decline in private participation of17% in 2011, also taking into consideration management 

or lease contracts, concessions, greenfield projects and divestitures (Figure 22).

Almost USD11.4bn of the total investment were 

reportedly directed towards 19 projects. The major 

share (79%) of project support went to the ICT 

sector with USD9.0bn, followed by energy with 13% 

(USD1.6bn) and 7% to transport projects (USD0.9bn). 

Further details are presented in Table 1 “PPIAF Data of 

Private Sector Commitments for African Infrastructure 

in 2011”.

9.2. Arab Partners 

Arab and Islamic partners continue to play a significant 

role in financing infrastructure in Africa. Table 2 provides 

a summary of their contribution for infrastructure in 

Africa for 2011, amounting to USD2.9bn. In 2010 the 

Arab Funds support almost doubled to (USD3.3bn) 

and seems to have stabilised at this level, with a 

slight reduction of 12% in 2011. Annex 13 Arab Fund 

Coordination Group Commitments 2011 shows further 

details on additional Arab finance. 

Covering 32 recipient countries is a broad task, but 

Arab and Islamic support in 2011 was mainly limited 

to countries in the North and East African Region. 

Major recipient countries accounted for 66% of total 

commitments including: Sudan with 26% (USD784m), 

Tunisia with 23% (USD420m), Morocco 13% (USD377m) 

and Mauritania 12% (USD348m). 

About 42% of total commitments went to projects 

in the energy sector, 34% to transport projects and 

10% to the water sector. In total Arab donors reported 

commitments aimed at the funding of 89 projects with 

an average volume of USD33m per project. Twenty-five 

of the largest commitments to African Infrastructure by 

members of the Arab Coordination Group in 2011 are 

listed in Table 3.

9.3. China 

Since 2000 the People’s Republic of China has emerged 

as a major player in the African infrastructure sector 

with more than 20% of the market share in contracting 

infrastructure projects 20 . Trade flows between Africa 

and China are rising at an astronomical rate and are 

largely balanced, mostly according to the pattern in 

which the two partners exchange raw material from 

Africa for manufactured goods from China. Economic 

ties between China and Africa are also characterised 

by China’s increasing role as a lender to and investor in 

the region. The absence of “political strings” imposed 

by Western governments, such as governance and 

environmental conditions, combined with competitive 

terms make Chinese loans an attractive and cheap 

source of credit for African countries. Therefore, China 

has become an important actor that contributes to 

bridge Africa’s substantial infrastructure gap. 21 

Significantly, Chinese loans outweigh levels of Chinese 

foreign direct investment (FDI) in SSA, with the latter 

remaining far below those of traditional Western 

sources. The accumulated Chinese FDI stock in SSA for 

the time period ending 2010 is estimated at USD11bn, 

equivalent to just 1.1% of SSA GDP. 22 

The largest Chinese lenders to Africa are China’s 

Export-Import Bank (EXIM) and China Development 

Bank (CDB). Fitch estimates that between 2001 and 

2010, EXIM loans to SSA made through its trademark 

“package loans” and targeting infrastructure 

development, reached USD67.2bn, overtaking World 

Bank lending of USD54.7bn to Africa during the same 

period. 23 

The ICA estimates of Chinese total commitments to 

Africa’s infrastructure is based on Annex 14 “Project 

list of Chinese commitments to African infrastructure in 

2011“ and amounted to USD14.9bn in 2011, showing 

a 66% increase compared to the previous year. More 

than 80% of Chinese infrastructure financing is directed 

towards the transport sector, followed by the energy 

sector with a share of 13%. Central Africa was the 

highest recipient region with a share of 79%, followed 

by East (12%) and West Africa (8%). 

IIn 2010 China started an exceptional cooperation 

with Ghana when 82% of total Chinese infrastructure 

commitments were signed to the tune of USD13.1bn. 

A year later Chad became a preferred partner with a 

57% share of total commitments (USD8.5bn) for the 

construction of two transport projects. a 1,344 km 

railway amounting to USD7.5bn and the International 

Airport (USD1.0bn). 24 

In all, China signed 14 agreements with ten African 

countries for the development of infrastructure projects. 

Beside Chad, three other countries such as Sudan 

(USD1.2bn), Cameroon (USD1.2bn) and Ethiopia 

(USD1.1bn) signed contracts with values exceeding 

one billion USD.

9.4. India 

India’s commitments for infrastructure projects in the 

region totalled to an average of USD500m a year from 

2003 to 2007. In recent years India has committed 

funding mainly through tied loans from India EXIM 

Bank to an estimated 20 African infrastructure projects 

worth a total of USD2.6bn 25 . This line of credit (LOC) is 

used for the payment of goods and services from India. 

Since the India EXIM Bank discloses only total amounts 

of credit lines to various different sector groups it is 

difficult to assess which exact amount of LOCs went 

to infrastructure 26 . As of March 31st 2012, India EXIM 

Bank had USD4.3bn operative LOCs earmarked for 

the African continent, representing 52% of their total 

portfolio 27 . 

In 2011 only one deal was reported when the Democratic 

Republic of Congo signed an USD280m agreement 

with India EXIM Bank to build a hydroelectric plant, 

“Katende I” in the south of the country. The contract 

anticipates a contribution of USD168m from India while 

the DRC will contribute USD112m 28 . 

9.5. Regional Development Banks 

The ICA Secretariat has consulted sub-regional 

development banks as part of its outreach and 

coordination activities and only received feedback 

from ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development 

(EBID), which shared commitments and disbursements 

data for 2011. 

EBID mainly financed projects in the energy sector, 

which received 70% (USD89m) of total commitments 

(USD127m), followed by multi-sector projects with 16% 

and transport with 14% (USD18m). Disbursements 

(USD66m) mainly occurred in relation to transport and 

energy projects, attaining 55% in 2011.

Almost USD2.5bn, representing 21% of total ICA 

commitments went to regional infrastructure projects 

in 2011, as shown in Figure 26. This is a decline 

considering the total amount from 2010, but a clear 

increase in proportion, since falling from 19% in 2009 

to 13% in 2010, the proportion is now at 21% in 2011.

11. ICA Secretariat Activities 2011 and Beyond: Looking Forward 

This chapter provides a summary of the ICA Secretariat’s work given in support of Members’ initiatives in 2011 

and the beginning of 2012. It also looks forward to the remainder of 2012. The Secretariat’s activities listed below 

correspond to the pillars of the ICA Strategic Business Plan (SBP) 2010-2012 and help to deliver on the ICA’s overall 

mission, to “increase finance for sustainable infrastructure development in Africa”. The focus of Secretariat activities 

is based around the following pillars: 

Pillar One - Enhanced Coordination 

Pillar Two - Facilitating Regional Infrastructure Programmes 

Pillar Three - Increased knowledge and information 

Communications in support of the Strategic Business Plan 

As noted above, the ICA is now in the third and final year of its 2010-2012 Strategic Business Plan, and as agreed 

at the Annual Meeting in Tunis in June 2012, the current SBP has been extended to the end of 2013. There is a 

consultancy agreement underway to review the Strategic Business Plan. 

11.1. Pillar One – Enhanced Coordination 

Outcome: Enhanced coordination of Africa’s infrastructure development among infrastructure 

financiers, planners and developers. 

Activities completed up to June 2012 

Work has continued, on the ICA Energy Sector 

Platform, which was championed by the USA, through 

the Virtual Working Group. Two reports were published, 

“When the Power Comes: An Analysis of IPPs in Africa” 

and “Light Inside: The Experience of Independent 

Power Producers in Nigeria”. The ICA Annual Meeting 

was co-organised by the ICA and United States 

government and featured a plenary session on the 

theme “Unlocking Private Investment in Clean and 

Renewable Energies in Africa”. 

On the Transport Sector Platform, the French and 

Portuguese translations of the One Stop Border 

Post (OSBP) Source Book have been completed 

and disseminated and a regional workshop on 

OSBPs, initiated by UEMOA and JICA, was held in 

Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in April 2012. The “Study to 

assess the potential for enhanced private participation 

in the maritime and air transport sectors in Africa” has 

been published following a sensitization workshop in 

Brussels in April 2012. 

Activities on the Water Sector Platform have 

commenced and the first Water Platform Meeting was 

held in Frankfurt, Germany in March 2012 at which 

several potential support activities with the RECs/ 

RBOs were identified. The AMCOW work plan has 

been supported through a PPP Conference on Water 

and Sanitation, co-organized by the IFC, ICA, PPIAF 

and WSP in Dakar, Senegal in June 2012 and during 

the African Water Week in Cairo, Egypt, two sessions 

took place in collaboration, with the AfDB on the 

themes: “Project Preparation and Financing for Water 

Infrastructure for Growth and Climate Resilience”, 

and “Financing of Transboundary Water Resource 

Projects”.

Sector (continuation of the success of the IFC Seminar 

Series, Publications, Sector Platforms); and 

• Further support and cooperation with the Initiative for 

Risk Mitigation in Africa (IRMA) with in AfDB. 

51


11.2. Pillar Two – Facilitating Regional Infrastructure Programmes 

Outcome: 

Accelerated progress on Regional Infrastructure Programmes 

Regional solutions are increasingly considered as important in unlocking economies of scale and restoring 

long term growth. ICA is placing increasing focus on regional programmes given their importance and unique 

challenges. The following section provides details on ICA’s achievements and agreed work on advocacy and 

brokering of regional programmes. 

Activities completed up to June 2012 

ICA Members continued to champion the four regional 

programmes – Eastern & Central Transport Corridors, 

Horn of Africa Initiative, North-South Corridor and 

West African Power Pool. These programmes and their 

priority projects have been included in the Programme 

for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA), which 

was endorsed by Heads of State at the AU Summit in 

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in January 2012. 

North-South Corridor, WAPP and projects in the Horn 

and East Africa (Kenya-Ethiopia Power Interconnector 

and Isaka Kigali Railway) have been included in 

the G20 MDB Action Plan as exemplary investment 

projects to be driven forward. 

The ICA provided financial support to IGAD, who 

organised a Horn of Africa Investment Conference in 

March 2012 to showcase priority infrastructure projects 

in the region. Ministers from countries throughout the 

region attended the significant two-day event that 

provided an opportunity to discuss progress and key 

bottlenecks in infrastructure delivery. 

An ICA grant of US100,000 has been approved to 

support the production and dissemination of the EAC 

transport strategy. 

Forward look for 2012 

• Assess scope to build on EU ITF’s work on the 

regional project preparation GIS and implications for 

ICA members and Secretariat. 

• Update and maintenance of ICA regional programme 

webpages on quarterly basis, based on feedback 

from lead Members and RECs. 

• Support efforts by lead Members, RECs and 

specialized institutions to scale-up finance by 

processing grant funding proposals submitted by ICAchampioned 

regional programmes. Also, identify the 

scope to replicate and scale-up financing tranches for 

the second half of 2012. 

• Assess scope of support for delivery of key PIDA 

objectives and implementation of transformative 

regional projects in participating in different sectorial 

working groups. 


52


11.3. Pillar Three – Increased Knowledge and Information 

Outcome: 

Knowledge is developed and shared to support increased financing for infrastructure in Africa. 

The sharing of best practices and innovations benefit infrastructure delivery and build a common understanding 

for a regional public good. Providing stakeholders with access to quality information for optimum decision-making 

is a basic necessity for increased investment in African infrastructure. To further this goal, ICA continues to 

promote knowledge-sharing and improved access to information. In addition to the sector specific publications 

listed under Pillar One sector platforms, below are some key accomplishments for Pillar Three: 

Recent Activities and Products 

Support was provided to the AfDB Statistics 

Department (ESTA) to further develop the AIKP (former 

AICD) database and prepare data collection for AIKP 

Phase Two. ICA covered part of the migration cost 

from the WB to the AfDB. 

ICA has appointed consultants to conduct an 

assessment of project preparation facilities in Africa 

as part of ICA’s on-going deliverables to the G20 

Development Working Group. Work commenced 

in April 2012 and results will be submitted to the 

DWG in October 2012. This evaluation aims to 

rank the performance of existing infrastructure 

project preparation facilities in Africa and to provide 

recommendations to produce more effective and 

efficient facilities. 

ICA also released the Regional Power Status in African 

Power Pools report, with information on the current 

status of the power sector in regional power pools. In 

addition, the two reports on private sector engagement 

in the energy sector have also been published: 

(Light Inside: The Experience of Independent Power 

Producers in Nigeria, Regional Power Status in African 

Power Pools, and When the Power Comes: An Analysis 

of IPPs in Africa). 

The print version of the ICA User Guide to Project 

Preparation has been developed into a dynamic, webbased 

tool, and a beta-testing version was launched 

in May 2012. The full formal launch is due to take place 

during the final quarter 2012, followed by continued 

outreach, and technical and informational updates in 

response to user feedback. 

Planned Activities 

• The ICA Secretariat will continue to support the 

AIKP study by mobilizing resources for the remaining 

24 countries and conducting joint thematic studies/ 

sector reports. 

• The ICA Knowledge Center will be populated with 

documents received for the ICA Members and its 

formal launch will take place in the final quarter of 

2012. The Secretariat will then lead in the promotion 

of the ICA Knowledge Centre. 

• The Secretariat will manage the completion of the 

ICA Assessment of Project Preparation Facilities for 

Africa, and host a dissemination and consultation 

workshop. The report will also be presented to DWG in 

October and the implications of any recommendations 

and actions will be assessed. ICA Secretariat will 

then launch and promote the ICA Project Preparation 

Facility “Fund Finder” 

53


11.4. Communications in support of the Strategic Business Plan 

Outcome: 

raise ICA profile 

Communication continues to be an important focus to best serve ICA mandate and great progress has been 

made in this area since the arrival of a full-time Communication Officer in October 2011. 

Recent Activities and Products 

ICA Flyers have been produced on infrastructure 

sectors for Water Platform, Regional Programmes/ 

Knowledge Sharing, Transport Platform and 

Knowledge Sharing. 

The ICA website has undergone a great deal of revision 

and restructuring to improve the content on the sector 

and financial pages, event pages, news updates 

and ability to track number of ICA website visits. In 

addition the website hosts the ICA Knowledge Centre 

and web space has been created for the hosting of 

the Project Preparation Fund Finder. 

Forward look for 2012 

• Development of essential Communications tools: 

contributions to ICA Style Guide, collection of photos 

for ICA image bank, design of templates, etc. 

• Production of ICA core briefs: complete flyers on 

Project Preparation and Energy Platform are currently 

underway.
