Infrastructure development in Africa has been given a major boost with the launch of the Ubuntu Initiative, a legacy G20 project that aims to transform project delivery across the continent.
The innovative initiative, rooted in the African philosophy of Ubuntu "I am because you are", sets out an Africa-led framework to translate the G20 Toolkit for Cross-Border Infrastructure into a programme of action.
It is one of South Africa's pivotal contributions to drive intra-African trade and investment under the G20 Infrastructure Working Group, chaired by the National Treasury, which also acts as the co-chair of the G20 Finance Track.
