02/02/2012 - Lack of political will is slowing down implementation of vital regional infrastructure projects in Africa, the president of the African Development Bank has said. Addressing the opening of the 18th African Union Summit in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, earlier this week, Dr Donald Kaberuka said the lack of inter-country cooperation, rather than funding, was often the main barrier to the launch and completion of critical regional infrastructure projects in Africa. This, he said, had a negative impact on the growth of the intra-African trade. ‘Boosting Intra-African Trade’ was the theme of the summit.
