Under the auspices of the African Union, in 2012 African heads of state adopted and endorsed the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) as the blueprint for the continent’s infrastructure development agenda. PIDA - which is governed by the African Development Bank, the African Union Commission and NEPAD - is not a nancing mechanism in its own right, but rather is intended to act as a vehicle to attract support for an ambitious suite of cross-border infrastructure mega-projects.These projects are valued at a colossal $360 billion up to 2040 and integrate energy, transportation, and water development on a continental scale.
