| description |
Between 2000 and 2005 infrastructure
made a net contribution of less than a third of a percentage
point to the improved per capita growth performance of
Niger, one of the lowest contributions in Sub-Saharan
Africa. Raising the country's infrastructure endowment
to that of the region s middle-income countries could boost
annual growth in Niger by about 4.5 percentage points. Niger
has made significant progress in some areas of its
infrastructure, including water and telecommunications. But
the country still faces a number of important infrastructure
challenges, the most pressing of which is probably in the
water and sanitation sector, as 82 percent of Nigeriens
still practice open defecation, the highest in the
continent. Niger also faces significant challenges in the
power sector, as only 8 percent of the population is
electrified. Niger currently spends about $225 million per
year on infrastructure, leaving an annual funding gap of
$460 million even after savings from curing inefficiencies
are taken into account. Niger can close that gap by tapping
alternative sources of financing or by adopting lower-cost
technologies. There is plenty of room for private-sector
participation in Niger's infrastructure sectors, and
the adoption of lower-cost technologies could reduce the
funding gap by almost half. |
