I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations on completing the PIDA 10-Year Progress Report. In this Report, AUDA-NEPAD, the right arm of the AU and the facilitator of PIDA implementation, provides a comprehensive analysis of PIDA’s achievements and challenges, as well as a roadmap for the future of PIDA. JICA is honoured to have been able to support PIDA for many years, including the preparation of this Report.

 

Based on the basic philosophies of “Ownership” and “Partnership” promoted through the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD), JICA has been supporting African-led initiatives, including PIDA. Regarding infrastructure development in Africa, JICA has been promoting a corridor development approach since TICAD V in 2013 and is committed to promoting local economic and social development along major trunk roads (corridors) with an integrated approach combining physical infrastructure development and institutional capacity development.

 

For example, in the West Africa Growth Ring region, which includes the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor covered by the PIDA PAP2 projects, JICA has provided…
