Importance of Trade in Africa
Bringing the world to Africa and taking Africa to the world at the lowest cost can be achieved through increased regional integration
We live in an increasingly globalised world, where African countries need to reap the benefits of economies of scale
Lower Cost of Production Increased Competitiveness Stronger Negotiating Power Increased Exports
Infrastructure Challenges
regular power outages
sanitation services across the continent
Funding deficit– “$31 Billion p/a”
Poor and under-developed transportation, energy, water and social infrastructure
Capacity Constraints Poorly developed projects - shortage of bankable projects paradox Delays/blockages – e.g. at borders, project contracting conclusion, etc. Difficult and uncertain regulatory environments in African countries impede development Regulatory policies and standards are inconsistent from country to country, and/or Regulatory policies are non-existent altogether in some instances
Role of PIDA in Trade and Infrastructure Development
