2014 - Africa - Private Sector Financing for Roads

SSATP launched a study in 2013 to review good practices, learn lessons from case studies, and provide guidance on private sector involvement in road financing, provision and management relevant to African countries. The study was informed by three case studies based on field visits in Senegal, Ghana and Nigeria, in consultations with stakeholders. Key issues covered include risks associated with private financing and allocation between the private and public sectors, enabling legal frameworks, contractual issues, institutional and governance issues, capacity development, funding, lenders requirements and the need for political will and support.
