Abstract: Africa’s infrastructure investment gap has widened over time. Addressing the mismatch between developed countries’ “global savings glut” and African countries’ “investment dearth” might be a win-win. To facilitate that matching, some risk mitigation tools can be used. In this brief, we propose that by providing such risk mitigation tools, development institutions and governments can crowd-in private investment rather than crowd them out by providing full financing. This article was originally published on T20 website , as our Fellow Otaviano Canuto, and research assistant in economics, Mahmoud Arbouch are part of the T20 Task Force 3 on infrastructure investment and financing .
