The platform will gather comprehensive quality and timely information on public and private, foreign and domestic investment and related policies across all African countries and sectors, and thereby to provide the evidence and data for policy dialogue at the continental and regional level to support productive transformation and sustainable development in Africa.
The platform will help African governments address key challenges related to the mobilisation and impact of investment:
- By raising awareness and improving knowledge on Africa’s priority projects, including in infrastructure, and the related investment needs and sources of financing, public and private, foreign, and domestic.
- By leveraging the AUC and OECD’s convening power and technical expertise, together with a broad range of existing resources and initiatives, to co-create comprehensive and timely information on all aspects of investment. The latter will also cover good policy practices for ensuring greater impact on sustainable development.
- By supporting a dialogue among African policy makers and their partners to find ways to fast-track resource mobilisation for impactful investment projects.
