2- The Cambridge document finds
- Availability of finance is not necessarily the
main obstacle frustrating flows of commercial
investment into infrastructure PPPs in PCCs.
Indeed, the constraints often occur earlier in
the project cycle. They are principally related
to (i) a weak contractual environment in PCCs
and (ii) a general paucity of well structured and
economically robust infrastructure projects.

4 AFD/DBSA PPFS Facility
- Background to the establishing of the Facility
NEPAD support - OAU accepted NEPAD as Africas principal agenda
for development (2001) - The lack of Infrastructure in Africa was
identified as one of the main constraints that
handicaps growth and economic development - The development of infrastructure projects to
financial and legal closure is a major drawback
in the implementation of the NEPAD Programme - The DBSA and AfD responded by establishing a
joint PPFS Facility to assist with the project
development work
5OBJECTIVE of the PPFS
- The PPFS focuses on the development of
infrastructure projects by making grant funding
available for the preparation and/or feasibility
studies of such projects
6MANAGEMENT / FUNDING ARRANGEMENT
- A joint Facility (in respective currencies) on a
5050 basis, to the equivalent of ZAR25 million
over a 3 year period - A Steering Committee comprised of senior staff
from DBSA AFD Regional Office SA - DBSA provides the secretariat function to the
Facility - DBSA manages the projects according to DBSA
policies, principles and processes
7PROJECT SELECTION CRITERIA
- Registered NEPAD project
- REC/National priority
- Regional impact/integration
- PPP
- Falls within priority infrastructure sectors
- Transport (road, air, ports, rail)
- Energy (generation, transmission, distribution
renewable) - Water and Sanitation
- Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
- Maximum contribution per project 300 000
8LESSONS OF EXPERIENCE
- At PPFS level
- Substantial inputs required to produce bankable
projects - Project preparation a stop-start process because
of the lack and continuous funding of various
elements of project preparation - Establishment of legal entities (SPVs) to manage
regional projects is difficult (time delays up to
more than a year) - Little capacity on continent to manage large
scale regional projects - PPFS limit per project (currently 300 000) leads
to time delays to source other financiers - Lack of capacity to bring projects to financial
closure (PIM), therefore - Use of Transaction Advisors (solicitation
process) which is expensive, plus clients require
additional support/advice from financiers during
this process
9LESSONS OF EXPERIENCE (cont)
- At project implementation level
- Many facilities/funds available with diverse
terms and conditions this further exhausts the
limited capacity - Need more publicity and promotion of the PPFS
Facility - Lack of coordinated information on what is
available from where and for what
10- What other significant developments around
funding mechanisms?

13Infrastructure Consortium of Africa
- Glen Eagles G8 Summit Pledges to double ODA by
2013 - ICA to facilitate IFI cooperation in regional
infrastructure provision - ICA also to source and channel funding for
infrastructure development - Forthcoming Berlin meeting to focus on
cooperation, channeling of funding and project
level development
14SADC ICP Forum
- Paris Declaration on Donor Harmonization
- SADC International Cooperating Partner Forum
- Windhoek Declaration on New partnership for SADC
Regional Integration - Optimal allocation of donor support to SADC
Secretariat - Needs assessment for capacity building
15Planning Africas Infrastructure Requirements
- Donors and IFIs need to read off the same book
- NEPAD Medium to Long Term Strategic Framework
- SAPP, WAPP, etc
- SADC Infrastructure Master Plan
- WESTCOR - Inga
- SDI Programme Mtwara
- Trans-frontier Parks
16Conclusions
- Legal and regulatory environment, political
support and project specific SPVs - Project management capacity at Facility, REC and
MS level - Focusing of funds to gaps in the Tunnel of Funds
- Cooperation between Funds and Facilities to
ensure smooth movement through tunnel of funds - ICA well placed to coordinate interventions
