The Infrastructure Consortium for Africa, March 2020
COVID-19 as a global pandemic is a threat to every country in the world. The crisis may overwhelm the fragile health care systems on the continent.
In some affected African countries, less than 50% of the population has access to safely managed drinking water services (World Development Indicators, 2017). It is therefore expected that achieving the SDGs and Agenda 2063 will be severely compromised! According to ECA, $100bn will be needed to bridge the funding gap and propel the Decade of Action.
