The Bank’s Private Sector Development Strategy and its subsequent updates introduced PPPs as intervention tools for the bank’s operations.
In 2005, the African Development Bank’s New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) established a special fund, in collaboration with international donors, to assist African countries. This fund, known as the Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility, offered another stimulus for PPPs in Africa.
The bank’s governance strategy and action plan have always stressed the importance of strengthening PPP policy, legislation and regulatory frameworks to aid in developing livestock infrastructure in Africa (e.g. dip tanks, crush pens, vaccination crushes, feeding and drinking troughs, veterinary laboratories, etc.).
