Abstract

If it becomes possible to mobilize significant external financing for Africa, it is necessary to consider how these flows will be distributed among the various African countries. The issues facing the Summit are both Africa's financing needs compared to those of regions and the respective needs of the various African countries. Not all of these countries have the same needs or the same absorptive capacity.
