Infrastructure bottlenecks have been identified as one of the major impediments to SSA regions development and its quest to achieve a strong, sustained and shared growth. The region consistently lags behind on every measure of access to infrastructure services. The World Banks 2008 Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD) study estimates Africas total infrastructure financing needs at US$93 billion a year (or 15 percent of the regions GDP). Only US$45 billion of this gap is financed, leaving a deficit of about US$48 billion per annum. While the infrastructure funding gap is huge, public finances have remained under pressure. The budgets of major donors that traditionally supported aid flows to the Africa region have not recovered from the 2008 global financial crisis and more recently, the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis. This makes Official Development Assistance (ODA) increasingly volatile and uncertain as a source of funding. Against this background of fiscal constraints, PPPs are emerging as mechanisms to help governments address burgeoning infrastructure bottlenecks
