| description |
The author reviews the recent economic
research on emerging issues for infrastructure policies
affecting poor people in developing countries. His main
purpose is to identify some of the challenges the
international community, and donors in particular, are
likely to have to address over the next few years. He
addresses six main issues: (1) the necessity of
infrastructure in achieving the Millennium Development
Goals; (2) the various dimensions of financing challenges
for infrastructure; (3) the debate on the relative
importance of urban and rural infrastructure needs; (4) the
debate on the effectiveness of infrastructure
decentralization; (5) what works and what does not when
trying to target the needs of the poor, with an emphasis on
affordability and regulation challenges; and (6) the
importance of governance and corruption in the sector. The
author concludes by showing how the challenges identified
define a relatively well integrated agenda for both
researchers and the international infrastructure community. |
