Abstract

This is an informative article examining the role of Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) in African infrastructure development. It highlights their contribution to financing major projects while identifying significant challenges such as corruption, weak governance, reduced policy autonomy, and environmental and social costs. The paper relies on secondary data from credible sources, including journal articles, institutional reports, and news platforms, to provide insights into the implications of ECA-backed projects. The findings emphasize the need for enhanced oversight, transparency, and a commitment to aligning these investments with Africa’s sustainable development goals
