Pension funds strictly speaking not usable for roads, social service gaps
THERE are interesting reports on top African policy makers preparing to gather in Arusha this week to examine ways of “elevating the role of social security funds in addressing Africa’s infrastructure and service delivery gaps.” This was the position expressed by the portfolio minister at the weekend, concerning the 14th annual conference of Africa social protection policy makers starting Wednesday. Ministers will have conclave of their own on the first day, and an open conference proceed for another two days, presumably with a better chance of reaching am expert consensus.
