Abstract
In Africa it is becoming clear that the
reasons for the shortage of infrastructure investment go
beyond the need for policy and governance reforms. But the
key problem is not a lack of funding, as might be expected.
Instead, it is the lack of packaged, bankable projects --
which in turn points to a need for more and better project
preparation. But understanding this fact is only a
beginning. African policy makers face special obstacles when
it comes to adequate project preparation. Their work to
resolve these problems is generating important lessons for
other low-income regions.
