Introduction.
The African Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD) study was released at the last quarter of 2009 by the World Bank today. The Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD) is an innovative knowledge program to improve public understanding of Africa's infrastructure situation. By rigorously evaluating past infrastructure policy reforms, the AICD assists policymakers in setting priorities for current infrastructure investments and provides a baseline for monitoring progress. It provides detailed data and analysis of the ICT, Power, Transport, Air Transport, Ports, Railways, Roads, Irrigation, Water Resources, Water Supply and Sanitation infrastructure sectors in 30 African countries. This research serves as a baseline for future infrastructure development in Africa.
The AICD has undertaken unprecedented data collection and analysis on the status of the main network infrastructures, including energy, information and communication technologies, irrigation, transport, and water and sanitation. The analysis encompasses public expenditure trends, future investment needs and sector performance reviews.
But for the investor or business person, it helps you assess where to strategically place your business in Africa. One key element of any business model is the distribution channels for products/goods. The AICD study gives you plenty of details to narrow possible locations for operations when considering infrastructure. You can decide which country within a regional economic community, e.g., ECOWAS, to position your operations to streamline the delivery and improve efficiency across the region. You can pull information by sector, country and regional economic community
Look for new strategic tools and information every week.
