A detailed study commissioned by the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA) scrutinises the current and past contribution of African Sub-regional Development Banks (SRDBs) to infrastructure development in Africa.

Members of the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA) gave their full support this week to helping Africa achieve its target of 300GW of power from renewable energy by 2030, suggesting that it could be the ‘game changer’ that unlocks Africa’s energy potential and drives economic growth.

Published today, the Infrastructure Financing Trends in Africa 2014 report shows that over $74bn was committed in 2014 to the development of Africa's infrastructure, and that disbursements by ICA members reached a record level of $13bn.

The Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA) is conducting a survey to seek views on how to encourage the growth of renewable energy in Africa, in the lead-up to its Annual Meeting in Abidjan on 16 and 17 November 2015.

Implementing Renewable Energy Initiatives in Africa will be the focus of the 11th Annual Meeting of the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA), which will take place in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, on 16 and 17 November 2015.
