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.
