  9. In 2014, the IMF declared 'the time is right for an infrastructure push'. But how can we overcome the global infrastructure funding gap - or is it not all about the money?
  11. #2015CAPE speaker @phkrause argued that 'there are no trillion dollar gaps' in his blog ahead of the conference and that the problem isn't a funding shortfall – it's poor budgeting.

    Apparently, the world is desperately short of infrastructure. According to various estimates, sub-Saharan Africa has an infrastructure gap of $1.8 trillion, South Asia $4.2 trillion, Latin America $7.8 trillion and the whole world a whopping $57 trillion from 2013 to 2030. To put these numbers into context, global GDP was estimated at around $78 trillion in 2014.

  17. Check out these infographics to learn more about the divide between infrastructure ambitions and reality. What does it take to invest in infrastructure, and to invest well?
  21. The private sector is deemed the only hope of filling the estimated $2.7 billion infrastructure gap needed to attain the SDGs.
  22. But is there really a case for using aid to subsidise private investment in developing countries, especially infrastructure, even though there is not much evidence that it has a direct impact on poverty?
  23. The #2015CAPE conference explored how we can work better with the private sector. In the meantime, read @CarterPaddy's blog and paper on why to subsidise the private sector.

    The private sector is hot right now.[1] A recent study found that the private sector is a priority for 19 out of 23 aid donors. USAID calls the private sector the key to achieving its development aims and is 'aggressively' pursuing a partnership model of development.
