Is improving infrastructure in Africa more important than improving governance?
A new report by the African Development Bank suggests that Chinese-style infrastructure development does more to help Africa than Western aid focused on good governance, education and health. The report argues that the quickest route to development is through investment in heavy infrastructure, in particular roads, electricity generation and water. But increasing spending on these kinds of projects might result in less being spent on health and education, previously thought to be the key to development. Is infrastructure more important than Western donors have been willing to admit? Are they right to be suspicious of spending on infrastructure programmes which can swiftly become useless prestige projects? Which do you think is more important?
