How have the Dear Mrs Davies, communities where Build Africa While the areas where Build Africa works have been spared a works been effected and is it too late humanitarian crisis on the level of Ethiopia or Somalia, it is also true to to do anything to help? say that Kenya has been hit worse than Uganda, with Machakos and Mwala Districts suffering more than the other areas where we operate. Mrs Davies In these districts widespread hunger has had an adverse effect on London W3 education, with teachers reporting erratic attendance at some of the schools that we support. Similarly, Village Savings and Loans groups have been unable to meet because members have understandably been searching for food or attending food relief meetings in the area. As a result we launched a summer appeal in August to deliver water to the nine hardest hit schools in Machakos and Mwala, providing guttering and tanks that will give the schools and the surrounding communities enough clean water if and when the rains fail in the future. It is never too late to help. You can find the appeal on the Build Africa website (www.build-africa.org).

The process began in October 2011 when the initial strategic planning stakeholders’ workshop was held, during which guidance was provided by an external consultant. From this an initial draft was prepared. More views and refinements to the draft document were made by the Board Programme Sub-Committee and the entire BAU Board of Governance, respectively. This was followed by the development of the implementation strategy and the monitoring and evaluation framework, with input from BAU staff. The guiding framework for the formulation of the BAU Strategy is the 2014 to 2018 Build Africa Strategy, which defines the purpose and direction of the organisation over the next five years. Build Africa’s goal over that period is to improve the quality of education and livelihoods of more than a million people in rural Africa. In order to deliver on education and livelihoods work, the whole organisation is committed to seven key approaches as detailed in the following BAU 2014 to 2018 Strategic Plan.

  • 2019 Policy Note on Africa Infrastructure and Regional Connectivity
    2019 POLICY NOTE ON AFRICA INFRASTRUCTURE AND REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY INVESTMENT ENERGYRISK MANAGEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE INNOVATION POPULATION GROWTH MIDDLE CLASS GREEN GROWTH COMMODITIES SKILLSREGULATIONS PRODUCTIVITYTRADE INDUSTRIALISATION CREDIT Infrastructure and regional connectivity in Africa This chapter provides insights and policy recommendations from the private sector on how to unlock opportunities for infrastructure development in Africa. The analysis builds on discussions which took place at the business meeting “Infrastructure and Regional Connectivity” organised by the OECD Development Centre’s Emerging Markets Network (EMnet) at the OECD headquarters in Paris on 30 October 2018, back-to-back with the International Economic Forum on Africa. Key messages include: • Africa’s population growth, economic dynamism and rapid urbanisation can generate opportunities for businesses, provided that investments are made to enhance infrastructure and regional connectivity, in line with the Africa Union’s Agenda 2063. • The Africa Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA) agreement is predicted to help intra-African trade grow by up to 52% while additional facilitation measures can further reduce the time and cost of trading. • Better trade facilitation measures, such as efficient warehousing and customs procedures, are important to complement improved physical links. • Over 600 million sub-Saharan Africans are predicted to remain without electricity access between now and 2030. Investment in green energy is necessary and should also include a focus on off-grid and small-scale energy solutions. • Upgraded digital infrastructure and better e-government services can unlock Africa’s economic potential further, although more developed digital skills are necessary. • Transparency and public governance are important elements to design successful infrastructure projects. • Governments must strengthen domestic resource mobilisation while partnerships with public and private financial institutions can crowd in more investment.
