Abstract:
|
It has been established that infrastructure is important for economic growth. However, infrastructural investment has had limited direct effect on poverty. The supply of infrastructure does not guarantee that poor people are able to use it. The benefits to the poor from additional infrastructure have been significantly less than anticipated. Due to weak governance, institutions, distorted public investment choices and inadequate maintenance, the contribution of infrastructure to growth are frequently undermined and the benefits intended for the poor, diverted. By strengthening governance and institutional frameworks, the linkages between infrastructure and poverty reduction can be made stronger. |
