Agenda The new emerging markets donors in Africa Expectations for the next 15 years Implications for traditional European donors 2
China is the main emerging donor in Africa with significant relative weight to be able to define development assistance trends New emerging donors in Africa include principally China and India, with a strong focus on commercial approaches and resource-rich countries China is particularly responsive to Africa’s current demand for infrastructure development The strong focus on commercial approaches, as well as local content and ownership, is fostering the creation of new engagement modalities in Africa such as impact investing and intermediaries Traditional donors (mainly Europe and North America) are showing some timid initiatives towards new modalities (e.g. Millennium Challenge Account in the United States), but the “traditional” ones are still the norm (e.g. use of development contractors) 3

Traditional European and North American donors at a crossroads Back to the drawing board: –Principles or pragmatism? –Aid is part of a partnership with African countries, which includes trade, country specific strategies and approaches, etc. »Are the principles outdated? »Redefine economic development? New rules of engagement: –Support to the private sector (e.g. guarantee mechanisms)? –Traditional donors as investors? New and strengthened skills: –Investment analysis? –The role of a shareholder? –Public-Private Partnerships? 14 4
