The Bank will direct a significant proportion of its new commitments to infrastructure investments, especially in the transport, power and ICT sectors. It will actively seek to ensure demonstrable public benefit by improving growth, productivity, employment and access to market opportunities and essential services, particularly where required, to accelerate progress toward the attainment of MDGs. The Bank will exercise leadership in continental initiatives such as NEPAD and the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa).
The Bank will also continue to focus on accelerating access to improve rural water and sanitation services while addressing the needs of Africa’s growing peri-urban and urban populations. The Rural Water and Sanitation Supply Initiative (RWSSI) will provide the vehicle for scaling up rural water and sanitation delivery during the period of the Medium Term Strategy (MTS). The Bank will strengthen partnerships to improve water, sanitation and hygiene delivery and water security in Regional Member Countries (RMCs). It will support RMCs to mainstream Integrated Water Resources Management in sector programmes and step up support to strengthen sector monitoring and evaluation in RMCs.
