This is a very important subject to all Africans especially African Entrepreneurs like myself. The lack of infrastructure and in some cases, the deplorable state of existing infrastructure has greatly limited the ambitions of many of us and restricted the actualization of many opportunities on the continent. I will like to suggest that whilst there are many ways to address this issue, my few takes are;
1. Public-Private Partnerships
2. National Pension Funds as you also opined
3. Concessions
4. Resource exchange (I am not a fan of this concept)
I look forward to reading about the project you mentioned and the lessons learned. Good to know you are ok and keeping safe,
With the vast wealth in Africa's natural resources, spanning from timber to coltan, why do we find ourselves scratching our heads over funding for infrastructure development? We have the wealth needed to uplift Africa. The nature of the inertia which is holding us back is what leaves me greatly puzzled.
