Pushak, NataliyaFoster, Vivien2012-03-192012-03-192011-03-01https://hdl.handle.net/10986/3360Infrastructure contributed 1.8 percentage points to Cote d'Ivoire's annual per capita GDP growth over the mid-2000s before conflict began to erase the country's infrastructure and its growth contributions. Raising the country's infrastructure endowment to the level of the region's middle-income countries could boost the growth rate by a further 2 percentage points. Private sector contracts signed in the 1990s resulted in improved operational performance and funding for investments in the water, power, transport, and ICT sectors. Impressively, those contracts survived the crisis and delivered uninterrupted service. But private investment flows have decreased since the mid-2000s. Cote d'Ivoire's most pressing infrastructural challenge will be to regain the financial equilibrium needed to restore a reliable energy supply. Reestablishing the prominence of Abidjan's port will require investments in terminal capacity and road and rail infrastructure upgrades on hinterland linkages. The underfunding of road maintenance and poor sanitation are additional challenges. Cote d'Ivoire's annual infrastructure spending was $750 million in the mid-2000s, with going to power sector operations and maintenance. If the underpricing of power and other inefficiencies (valued at $200 million annually) were eliminated, the country s annual infrastructure funding gap would amount to $1 billion, and infrastructure goals could be reached within 20 years. Cote d'Ivoire's has relatively good prospects for bridging its funding gap by raising public investment from its low current level, choosing more efficient technologies, and harnessing additional private investment for infrastructure.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS CHARGESACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACCESSIBILITYACCOUNTINGAIRAIR TRAFFICAIR TRANSPORTAIRCRAFTAIRPORTAIRPORT FACILITIESAIRPORT INFRASTRUCTUREAIRPORT TRAFFICAPPROACHARTERYAVAILABILITYBALANCEBANDWIDTHBONDSBOTTLENECKSBRIDGEBUDGET EXECUTIONCABLECAPITAL COSTSCAPITAL EXPENDITURECAPITAL INVESTMENTCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCAPITALSCARGOCARGO HANDLINGCARGO HANDLING CHARGECARRIERSCOLLECTION SYSTEMCOLLECTION SYSTEMSCONCESSIONCONCESSION CONTRACTCONCESSIONSCONNECTION CHARGESCONTAINER HANDLINGCOST OF POWERCOST RECOVERYCOSTS OF POWERCOUNTRY COMPARISONSDEFICITSDEMAND FOR POWERDISTRIBUTION LOSSESDOMESTIC AIR TRANSPORTECONOMIC BENEFITSECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC GROWTH RATESECONOMIC VIABILITYELECTRICITYELECTRIFICATIONENERGY SUPPLYFINANCIAL BURDENFINANCIAL DATAFINANCIAL EQUILIBRIUMFINANCIAL PERFORMANCEFINANCIAL STRUCTUREFREIGHTFREIGHT TRAFFICFREIGHT TRANSPORTFUELGASGENERATIONGENERATION CAPACITYGENERATION OF ELECTRICITYGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROWTH RATESHIGHWAYHOUSEHOLD BUDGETSHYDROPOWERINDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERSINFRASTRUCTURE ASSETSINFRASTRUCTURE COSTSINFRASTRUCTURE FUNDINGINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTSINFRASTRUCTURE SERVICESINFRASTRUCTURE SPENDINGINTERNATIONAL SHIPPINGINTERNATIONAL SHIPPING LINESINTERNATIONAL TRAVELINVESTMENT PROGRAMINVESTMENT TARGETSKILOWATT-HOURKILOWATT-HOURSLABOR UNIONSLEASE CONTRACTLICENSESLOCOMOTIVEMAINTENANCE COSTSMARKET PRICESMILEAGENATURAL RESOURCESNETWORK INFRASTRUCTUREO&MOILOIL PRICESOPEN ACCESSOPERATING COSTSOPERATING EXPENDITURESPASSENGER TRAFFICPOLICEPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOPULATION DENSITIESPORTSPOWERPOWER CONSUMPTIONPOWER DISTRIBUTIONPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION CAPACITYPOWER GRIDPOWER PROJECTPOWER SECTORPOWER SHORTAGESPOWER SYSTEMPOWER TRADEPRESENT VALUEPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRODUCTIVITYPROFIT MARGINSPUBLICPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENT IN INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC PRIVATE INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SPENDINGRAILRAIL FREIGHTRAIL INFRASTRUCTURERAIL NETWORKSRAILWAYRAILWAYSREGIONAL TRANSITRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONREVENUE COLLECTIONROADROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD SECTORROAD TRAFFICROADSROLLING STOCKROUTERURAL ROADSSAFETYSANITATIONSANITATION SECTORSANITATION UTILITIESSAVINGSSERVICE PROVIDERSSHIPPING LINESTARIFF ADJUSTMENTSTARIFF REVISIONSTAXTELECOMMUNICATIONSTERMINAL OPERATORTHERMAL POWERTRAFFICTRAFFIC DENSITYTRAFFIC FLOWSTRAFFIC GROWTHTRAFFIC VOLUMESTRANSIT CORRIDORTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INDICATORSTRANSPORT INDUSTRYTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT MARKETTRANSPORT OF GOODSTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT QUALITYTRANSPORT SERVICESTRAVELERSTRUCK PROCESSINGURBAN ROADURBAN ROADSURBAN TRANSPORTUTILITY BILLUTILITY BILLSUTILITY SERVICESVEHICLEVEHICLESVOICE TELEPHONYWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER SERVICEWATER SERVICESWATER SUPPLYWATER TARIFFSWATER UTILITIESWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-5594
