Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic:
a multi-stakeholder effort
Key Message #1
Africa has a similar water
endowment to other
continents but captures
much less for development
Both in relative and absolute terms Africa
captures a smaller share of water than others

Key Message #2
A combination of difficult
hydrology and complex
geopolitics are responsible
Africa has exceptionally variable rainfall
across seasons and across years
Africa has exceptionally variable rainfall
across seasons and across years
Climate change will only
exacerbate existing variability yet Africa can’t even cope
with what it has today
Africa has 60 international rivers
making cooperation vital but challenging
Key Message #3
Major investment in
hydraulic infrastructure
needed to buffer economies
from droughts and floods
Floods and droughts have huge economic
impact but buffering them is costly
Extreme hydrological events (droughts/floods) have
major macro-economic impacts
Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique all losing 1% GDP annually
Africa’s per capita water storage capacity is 200m3
versus at least 1,000m3 in other developing regions
Cost of increasing storage by these multiples would be
prohibitive in economic terms
Raising Ethiopia’s storage to RSA levels would cost US$35bn,
Floods and droughts have huge economic
impact and represent a drag on growth

Raising Ethiopia’s storage level
to that of South Africa’s would
cost US$35 billion more than
three times Ethiopia’s GDP
Key Message #4
Significant potential for
irrigation development but
crucially sensitive to costs
About 7 million hectares of new irrigation
potential – predominantly small scale

Irrigation is mostly viable only for cash or high value food
crops (horticulture) with revenues >US$2,000/ha/yr
Small scale gives much higher returns,
but potential area much more sensitive to cost

Spatial extension of large and small scale
irrigation potential identified
Irrigation potential concentrated in some
15 countries, most notably Nigeria
Note: Graphs show all countries with more than 50,000
hectares of potential for large or small scale irrigation
Key Message #5
Progress towards
Millenium Development Goals
for water and sanitation
painfully slow
Access trends stagnant at best, fastest
growth takes place on lower rungs of ladder
Second best solutions as inequitably
distributed as first best solutions
Key Message #6
Existing spending nowhere
near high enough to meet the
Millenium Development Goals
There is a funding gap of $11.3 billion a
year – even after recouping inefficiencies
