Up the compact with africa summit in berlin chancellor Angela Merkel told leaders that africa had a key role to play in solving global problems but there needed to be more openness and trust. Underneath the key we believe and im thoroughly convinced of this that more transparency will bring more investors to these countries because its important for germans other g 20 investors as well as Medium Sized Companies to have trust and transparency. Is this gods going to be speech they want to know where the investment is going and under what conditions. Do you thin the. Its a question of Good Governance but its also about funding so far 12 countries are signed up to the initiative and theyre hoping they will secure investment the compact actually will help with the government and all the stakeholders to implement reforms that will improve for the ease of doing business germany signed reform partnerships with senegal and ethiopia at the conference which should facilitate better private Sector Development with africa.

Brown is the senior director of research and policy engagement at the African Center for Economic Transformation and kindly joins us now from accra what do Business Leaders in ghana think about this program. Well i think that d the maturity d. In this is the tip of the deformed business and looking forward to the compact the German Government of the next i think was early this year the german business for we brought together the right private sector that titian us and principles and i think theres a good expectation. That the time is a days but but welcome in come back with africa where the Great Expectations but this is in the u. S. Do you think anything has happened i actually do you feel anything happening already yet youre already in the loop is there is the video that is coming to establish plant here. They ship the lease already or cannot establish new plant nisson in this country and just recently in the African Investment forum with the sale just. Last week i attended at. The Government Center in the contract for this country this is on the compact. With africa for this country for this pilot so there are big ticket items that come your board albeit slowly they seem to be coming on board but it is often criticism that countries such as ghana have infrastructure and adequate infrastructure and that also corruption across the continent is a major problems and on these complaints justified and all these problems also addressed. Then i think the compact with africa would help to at least address some of the governance issues because one thing that is doing is to try and crowd it capital. To silence Public Investments. By doing that. Through the p. P. P. I mean that at least there is a sense in which you can bring in some of the governments telling us that you know to come on the government to recommend us so i think theres an opportunity to begin to. Create more robust governance and went in with the International Issues like the i admit the. What it that i have seen most often is cooperation of the world bank as well as in bed who was in some support to to risk. Private capital in order to crowded into Public Investment so i think clearly there is an infrastructure challenge in this infrastructure that and then has been addressed to try to credit and capital because Government Resources a lot yeah not even going to the market it was simply that.
