7th PIDA WEEK

Putting Africa on a firm footing for recovery, growth, and resilience through Infrastructure

CBN Call for Proposals Covid-19:

“Economic Recovery Through Infrastructure Service Delivery”

Lighting up Africa

By 2040, power access will increase to nearly 70%, equating to an additional 800 million people with access to energy sources. Access to electricity will be no less than 60% in any African country and the continent will save USD30 billion on energy production costs.

Cutting transport costs

Transport efficiency gains will equate to at least USD 172 billion in the African Regional Transport Integration Network (ARTIN), with the potential for much larger savings as trade corridors open.

Access to reliable and affordable ICT networks

Meeting Africa’s demand for broadband at an affordable cost, increasing access and security of access to internet services and the promotion of intra-African ecommerce.

Water and food for all Africans

Growing water needs will drive certain river basins – in particular the Nile, Niger, Orange and the Volta – to the brink of environmental disaster. PIDA will enable the water storage infrastructure needed for food production and trade.

PIDA Executing Agencies

The African Union Commission ensures the alignment of the PIDA priority projects and programmes with regional and continental strategies and policy frameworks; reviews strategic plans, studies and reports prepared by the NEPAD Agency; and makes appropriate recommendations to the Council for Infrastructure Development (CID) through an independent advisory group.

The AUDA-NEPAD Agency collaborates with Regional Economic Communities, countries, specialised institutions and the private sector, to accelerate the implementation of PIDA as well as co-ordinating stakeholder engagements for the funding and financing of PIDA priority projects, producing annual reports on the implementation status of these projects.

The African Development Bank’s role as one of the executing agencies covers the responsibility for contractual, financial, technical and administrative management of the programme including responsibility for procurement procedures, in conformity with its existing regulations, budget management and disbursements.
