The Institutional Architecture for Infrastructure Development in Africa (IAIDA) Handbook outlines the roles and responsibilities of PIDA Implementing Partners both at decision-making and implementation level. The IAIDA Handbook is a publication of the African Union Commission (AUC), in partnership with the African Development Bank (AfDB), the NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency (NPCA) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).

The Handbook is a joint effort from experts affiliated with the AUC, the AfDB, the NPCA and the ECA. Together, the authors provided insight into the PIDA implementation process, which is grounded in the Institutional Architecture for Infrastructure Development in Africa (IAIDA).

The main purpose of this Handbook is to provide in one document a summary of the roles and responsibilities of the key stakeholders both at decision-making and implementation processes for an efficient and effective steering and coordination of PIDA Implementation.
