ICA-Infrastructure Financing Trends in Africa – 2016
The completion of Infrastructure Financing Trends in Africa – 2016 marks another milestone for the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA) in its consistent reporting of the mobilisation of financial resources to facilitate the development of the continent’s transport, water and sanitation, energy and ICT sectors.
