Critical condition of all transport modesCritical condition of all transport modes

Road– Only 19% is paved (against 27% in lat Am & 43% in South Asia)– 4% of registered vehicles, 10% of total deaths– Accidents cost 3% of GDP every year in Egypt

Rail– 3.5% of developing countries passenger flows, but 20% of GDP

& population

Air– <2% of developing countries passenger and freight flows– Few airports with international standard– 4.5% of traffic, 25% of accidents

Ports– Most ports are under equipped and have reached maximum

capacity– Inefficient: ZAF (17 c.u/h), Dar es Salam (21) ≠ Brazil (42)

Shift in ODA to social sectors


Infrastructure is back on donors’ Infrastructure is back on donors’ agendaagenda

Decline in the 1990’s of bilateral ODA, not compensated by multilateral flows– Shift of attention to poverty reduction (MDGs)– Disappointment over past experiences

Renewed interest as shown by report by Commission for Africa and UN Millennium Summit

Bilateral donors insist on linkage between infrastructure & poverty reduction and leverage for private funds (ex: the Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund)

Increased involvement of non traditional donors (China, Arab countries)


PPP experiences in transportPPP experiences in transport

Prompted by lack of public finance and lack of access to international financial markets, although second-generation second-generation road fundsroad funds and investment of windfall gainsinvestment of windfall gains are helping

Not full privatisationNot full privatisation but concession & management contracts to allow better risk sharing in volatile environment

Positive outcome with respect to transport service transport service deliverydelivery (ex: cargo handling)

Under certain conditions (high private sector stakehigh private sector stake), privatisation of infrastructure is successful (ex. toll road of Maputo corridor)

In most cases, investment in infrastructure remains public


Money is not enoughMoney is not enough

Strong regulation needed– Strong commitment / negotiation skills– Autonomous regulatory body (ex. Zambia)

Better planning (ex. Master Plan for Greater Cairo)– Selection of projects and solve trade-offs– Integration in poverty reduction strategy & medium-term

expenditure framework

Community participation– Maximising employment generation and easing

maintenance– Gender dimension is crucial (ensure participation)

Regional cooperation– Economies of scale– Partnering with NEPAD & regional organisations
