This edited collection presents seventeen case studies focused on development banking in Africa at both the national and regional level. It discusses the political economy and key characteristics of these banks and sets them in broader multilateral, regional and sub-regional contexts. Bringing together contributions from scholars in banking and finance as well as development finance practitioners, the book assesses in-depth the corporate governance, business models, risk management practices, institutional contexts, and challenges and achievements of development banks in a range of countries, including Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Kenya, Tunisia, Mauritius, Botswana, and Zimbabwe. It considers the major contributions of these banks so far, for example their impact on infrastructure development and trade, as well as setting out further policy implications and recommendations for further utilizing the potential of development banking in Africa. In addition, the book discusses comparative approaches in Asian development banks, regional banks and trade financing, regional case studies and the impact of development banking models on regional and sub-regional investments and economic development. This book will be valuable readers for scholars and practitioners interested in banking and finance, development economics and finance, African economics, and the sustainable development goals.

This Element offers a novel, highly relevant perspective towards Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), which are development and financial organizations at the same time. Based on the elaborate institutional logics perspective borrowed from organizational sociology, it uncovers the complex trade-offs between financial and development pressures faced by MDBs and explains variation in organizational responses thereto across types of MDBs. The argument is tested with an original dataset using Data Envelopment Analysis to explain variation in response patterns across MDBs. The analysis shows that lending to the private sector as well as being predominantly owned by borrowing members increase MDBs' emphasis on the financial at the expense of the development nature. Thereby, this Element provides unique insights into MDBs' responses to their dual nature and significantly advances our understanding of MDB lending operations, drawing attention to the complexities involved in the unique MDB business model.

This book examines the changing role of national development banks (NDBs) in Africa. It presents a comprehensive overview of NDBs in Africa, examining their key characteristics, theoretical underpinnings, and growing importance to African economies. The book fully examines the role of NDBs and their potential to support development goals, address gaps in finance left by underdeveloped capital markets, and mobilize resources from the public and private sectors to encourage new long-term investments. Chapters cover the historical background and theoretical rationale for NDBs; the contemporary role of NDBs including their role in sustainable development, climate finance initiatives, and infrastructure development; funding sources, business models, monitoring and impact evaluation; and corporate governance, risk management and regulation. Case studies are also included to demonstrate the individual contributions of NDBs to several national economies. The book contributes to the limited literature in this area by providing a detailed resource on NDBs for scholars, students, policymakers and regulators working in the areas of development finance and banking.

Sustainable infrastructure development is vital for Africa s prosperity. And now is the time to begin the transformation. This volume is the culmination of an unprecedented effort to document, analyze, and interpret the full extent of the challenge in developing Sub-Saharan Africa s infrastructure sectors. As a result, it represents the most comprehensive reference currently available on infrastructure in the region. The book covers the five main economic infrastructure sectors information and communication technology, irrigation, power, transport, and water and sanitation. 'Africa s Infrastructure: A Time for Transformation' reflects the collaboration of a wide array of African regional institutions and development partners under the auspices of the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa. It presents the findings of the Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD), a project launched following a commitment in 2005 by the international community (after the G8 summit at Gleneagles, Scotland) to scale up financial support for infrastructure development in Africa. The lack of reliable information in this area made it difficult to evaluate the success of past interventions, prioritize current allocations, and provide benchmarks for measuring future progress, hence the need for the AICD. Africa s infrastructure sectors lag well behind those of the rest of the world, and the gap is widening. Some of the main policy-relevant findings highlighted in the book include the following: infrastructure in the region is exceptionally expensive, with tariffs being many times higher than those found elsewhere. Inadequate and expensive infrastructure is retarding growth by 2 percentage points each year. Solving the problem will cost over US$90 billion per year, which is more than twice what is being spent in Africa today. However, money alone is not the answer. Prudent policies, wise management, and sound maintenance can improve efficiency, thereby stretching the infrastructure dollar. There is the potential to recover an additional US$17 billion a year from within the existing infrastructure resource envelope simply by improving efficiency. For example, improved revenue collection and utility management could generate US$3.3 billion per year. Regional power trade could reduce annual costs by US$2 billion. And deregulating the trucking industry could reduce freight costs by one-half. So, raising more funds without also tackling inefficiencies would be like pouring water into a leaking bucket. Finally, the power sector and fragile states represent particular challenges. Even if every efficiency in every infrastructure sector could be captured, a substantial funding gap of $31 billion a year would remain. Nevertheless, the African people and economies cannot wait any longer. Now is the time to begin the transformation to sustainable development.
