Nepad Special Fund contributors call for increased contribution for Africa’s infrastructure development

While contributions to the New Partnership for Africa’s Development’s (Nepad’s) Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility (IPPF) Special Fund reached some $90.5-million during the first half of this year, donor contributors have urged other countries to contribute to the fund to support infrastructure project preparation in Africa. The call from contributing donor partners Canada, Germany, the UK, Spain, Denmark and Norway for increased financial contributions in Africa is in an effort to accelerate Africa’s transformation and increase socioeconomic development through enhanced infrastructure connectivity.
