Challenge
The PIDA PAP 2 Financing Strategy outlines how African countries can mobilize:
- domestic resources (public revenues, national funding mechanisms)
- climate finance (climate funds, concessional and blended finance)
- private and institutional capital (including public‑private partnerships)
The gap: selected priority projects struggle to move from policy to execution.
Why: diverse institutional settings, uneven project readiness, and tighter public finances are slowing progress.
