Abstract

There is a moral case for international provision of large-scale concessional funding to Africa. The continent is projected to feel the impacts of climate change the most, while having an estimated annual sustainable development goal financing gap of $200 billion. Nimrod Zalk writes that African countries should rapidly raise the capitalisation of development banks to enable higher levels of lending, and discusses way to do that.
