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.
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.
The AICD is being implemented by the World Bank on behalf of a steering committee chaired by the African Union Commission, and comprising the New Partnership for Africa’s Development, the African Development Bank, Africa’s regional economic communities, and donors investing in African infrastructure.
The main contributors financing the AICD are the UK Department for International Development, the Public Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility, Agence Française de Développement, the European Commission, and the World Bank.
