Introductory meeting of the Summit for Financing Africa’s Infrastructure: statement by Carlos Lopes, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA
This Dakar Financing Summit is a response to the challenge of poor infrastructure and our vision to overcome the situation. It is at once the end of a process as well as the beginning of a journey. The Summit marks the end of a process that started with the NEPAD Heads of State and Government meeting who upon learning that the continent generates the bulk of its current infrastructure financing, requested a NEPAD/ECA study on mobilizing additional domestic resources to fund regional projects. It is combination of the outcome of that study and the trimming of fifty-one projects in the PIDA Priority Action Plan to the 16 projects that has brought us here on today
