Investing in Africa Forum 2019: Introduction
BACKGROUND
T he Investing in Africa Forum (IAF) was
established in 2015 as a global platform
for multilateral cooperation and promoting
opportunities to increase investment in Afri-
ca. It is intended to be an annual multi-stake-
holder gathering, bringing together represen-
tatives of the public and private sectors from
Africa, China, international and continental
institutions, development partners, and
think tanks to deepen policy dialogue, share
experiences, and discuss business opportuni-
ties to promote and support investment and
sustainable development in Africa. It was first
initiated by China Development Bank (CDB)
with the full endorsement of the Chinese
Government and won the strong support of
the World Bank Group (WBG) and multiple CONTEXTE sur le continent. oppement de l’Afrique. Le troisième forum

Session III: Public and Private Partnerships and Investment
Climate
Partenariats publics-privés (PPP) et climat des affaires
BACKGROUND:
Infrastructure is an indispensable foundation for growth and
connectivity. Africa’s infrastructure gaps are large and financing
gap is estimated at $US 68-108 billion per annum, even though
the continent has abundant sources of renewable energy, including
solar and hydro. Public-private partnerships are therefore essential
for financing the provision of these public goods. This session will
examine the opportunities for PPPs in building Africa’s infrastructure
as well as the efficient delivery of public services. The session will
also highlight examples of African countries which have created a
conducive environment for private investment by undertaking a range
of business-friendly reforms that are necessary for a successful Public
Private Partnership.
CONTEXTE :
L’infrastructure est une base indispensable à la croissance et à la
connectivité. Quand bien même le continent dispose d’abondantes
