African Infrastructure Development: What are we trying to build continentally? (Part 5 in a series)
# We've done a lot this week!

We've touched on [*why infrastructure*](https://steemit.com/africa/@kiligirl/african-infrastructure-the-infrastructure-service-delivery-path-part-3-in-a-series) , we've tickled [*who is involved in African infrastructure*](https://steemit.com/africa/@kiligirl/african-infrastructure-development-a-nutcracker-suite-part-1-of-i-m-not-sure-how-many-yet) and we've delved a bit into [*how* infrastructure service delivery](https://steemit.com/africa/@kiligirl/african-infrastructure-the-infrastructure-service-delivery-path-part-3-in-a-series) works from conception all the way to people receiving the infrastructure service, and we looked at that in the most generic of ways. Yesterday, we peeked into the recipe for the secret sauce that makes the project development process work, the [enabling environment](https://steemit.com/africa/@kiligirl/african-infrastructure-the-enabling-environment-and-where-it-fits-part-4-in-a-series). We've looked at [*what infrastructure is*](https://steemit.com/africa/@kiligirl/infrastructure-a-brief-primer-part-2-in-a-series-of-i-don-t-know-how-many-posts-yet) from the level of the space shuttle flying over our beautiful blue planet, and we broke it down into economic and social infrastructure. 

# And it's Friday today, Steemit went AWOL for a while and our brains are all fried

So let's not make this too hard today. Let's get more specific about *what* infrastructure initiatives are underway in Africa, without getting too deep into the mechanics. 

This will help us set the scene for looking closer at how the big infrastructure projects get funded, then consider ways the private sector can make a major difference on this stunning continent of ours.

Relax - I'm not going to make you read too much today. Today is picture day.

## Let's look at the continent by economic infrastructure sector

Okay! Let's do it that way.

<center>![Okay!](https://media.giphy.com/media/tsgNNs93oIbwk/giphy.gif)</center><br>

### Where do we look?

One of the best places to look for summary information on what's happening in African infrastructure development is the [Infrastructure Consortium for Africa](), a group I mentioned in that [first post](https://steemit.com/africa/@kiligirl/african-infrastructure-development-a-nutcracker-suite-part-1-of-i-m-not-sure-how-many-yet). Their annual reports are good hunting grounds if you want a comprehensive understanding of who, what, where and when. Not why, but those four other Ws are super helpful. I've taken extracts from their 2015 Annual Report 

I also thought I'd give you an idea of what the first [Programme for Infrastructure Development](http://www.nepad.org/programme/programme-infrastructure-development-africa-pida) Priority Action Plan (PAP) looked like for each sector when it was first communicated back in 2011. 

Each of these next sector sections has a snapshot of current projects in that sector on the continent, according to the ICA, and the original PIDA PAP thinking on where the continent should be in terms of physical connection and regional integration by 2020 and then 2040.

# Did I say the pictures would be simple?

I may have exaggerated a teeny bit just to get you to look. Shame on me.

<center>![Panda shame](https://media.giphy.com/media/P8WZZ0NYdbXAA/giphy.gif)</center><br>

# Closing out today

I think we can start to see the magnitude of the challenge that African infrastructure planners and financiers have to come to grips with - just on economic infrastructure connecting our continent with itself, energy, transport, water and ICT linkages.

Have a great weekend all.

As Africa plans for building electricity producing power plants we request that they do so with Energy Efficiency.
Power plants should no longer be constructed with chimneys. The exhaust from these power plants needs to be utilized, and not blown into the atmosphere.
The recovered heat energy and CO2 and even the water from this exhaust can be utilized to create jobs growing food.
It's a simple process that can make a big difference for the country of Africa.
Do not miss this opportunity!!

Those are not chimneys, what you see going up into the air is steem. They are cooling towers. But I agree it looks pretty shocking. I only learned this recently by the way.

@kiligirl, You have won my heart only due to your world class work. Every time I visit your profile to check either you post something new or not. Your hard-work gave you some unique recognition in the Community, which is not a JOKE. *BRAND NEEDS LOT OF TIME, BUT YOU MADE IT HAPPEN IN VERY SHORT SPAM OF TIME*.
Today's Blog is another full of fruitful information regarding:
African infrastructure and how infrastructure service delivery works from conception all the way to people receiving the infrastructure service, and enabling environment. What infrastructure is from the level of the space shuttle flying over our beautiful blue planet, and we broke it down into economic and social infrastructure.(Beautiful lines).
Keep smiling & Stay blessed!

I guess the main challenge is that no one is willing to invest because they don't trust African governments. Inga dam can solve all water and energy problems in Africa. Once again, the problem is not resources but logistics. Amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics. Great post!

Same here - it was a really scary experience as there was very little information available on what was happening. Thank you so much for you support as always, @momi5 - I'm not sure how much time I'll have online this week while I'm in Lusaka, but I'll do my best to look out for your posts 😊

Hi Kiligirl it's Ellie Mae, just trying to comprehend all of your posts. It's a lot for someone that has never been to Afrika. The system there is most often regarded as corrupt. My first question is. How much money do you have to pay in order to play? Is there any certaintee that your proposal will be considered once you have applied. 

Now that you have attained financing from X how is it secured without state intervention? Am I getting this right? 

What parts of Afrika are you proposing to aid with infrastructure? There must be a circular advantage to production so that that poor are incentivized to continue receiving  upgrades to their living situations. 

From the pictures I have seen via the computer. Any upgrade would be welcome, but what makes the masses want more if the government finds them easier to control  in a status quo environment? 

Perhaps I am thinking about your posts from a perspective that was not intended. It seems to me that the entire process is indeed a worthy one. That it is time for Afrika to jump on board. Recognize the benefits possibly becoming one of the finest examples of modern technology in the world. 

New opportunities present themselves constantly. Methods need only to be utilized, deregulated, experimented with to exact what is best for each location. 

Please let me know if this is any where close to what you are proposing. 

I had a lovely time with my Sister's. Glad to be back on track. Have missed hearing from you. Have a whole page of notes to ask you about as I have thought a great deal about your posts. 
Love from the swamps Ellie Mae🐓🐓

Hi, @mother2chicks, I'm so glad you had a good visit with your sister. You ask such good questions I really want to think about how to answer them and not give you a throwaway answer. You probe some of the most important aspects of infrastructure service delivery. I'll be in Lusaka all this week with limited access to the internet - not because Lusaka has limited access to the internet, but because I'll be busy each day looking for clients! Would you mind terribly if I absorb all your questions as you ask them - and keep asking them - and then give a good try at answering them next week? Love, LD 😊😊

You're right; the pics are not simple; but then, neither is the subject!  Certainly cannot absorb all of them in a single sitting.  On another subject; Lusaka, huh; about 100 years ago I lived there for 13 years!  Interesting, interesting place--hope you had a productive visit!!
