10. Infrastructure as an Engine of Growth and Poverty Reduction?
•
•
•
The impacts of one type of infrastructure (e.g., roads) on economic
development and poverty reduction can be significantly enhanced by
coordinated investments in complementary infrastructure (e.g., power).
And unless the initial infrastructure investments is properly operated,
the poverty and development benefits will soon vanish.
R. Ahmed and M. Hossain (1990) found that infrastructure
development increased agricultural production by 32%, and increased
household incomes by 33% in Bangladesh. In addition, they found
such investments to be pro-poor since the landless and smallholder
farmers garnered a larger share of incomes from better infrastructure.
S. Fan (1999) found in India the government expenditures on roads
had the largest impact on poverty reduction, as well as having a
significant impact on productivity growth.
12. Infrastructure as an Engine of Growth and Poverty Reduction?
•
•
•
At the same time, countries with underdeveloped infrastructure see no
statistically significant impact of infrastructure investment on growth. In
other words, not only can a lack of infrastructure be an impediment to
more investment, but it can also be one of the dimensions of the socalled "poverty trap,"
There are critical and interlinked infrastructure threshold levels that
have to be reached before one can trace the growth and poverty
reduction impacts of infrastructure investments. For example, most
African countries have yet to reach such infrastructure threshold levels.
Institutional capacity constraints and infrastructure market distortions
raise those threshold levels even further.
Esfahani and Ramirez estimated that had Africa had East Asia’s growth
rate in telephones per capita (5% in Africa versus 10% in East Asia)
and in electricity generation (2% in Africa versus 6% in East Asia),
Africa’s per capita growth rate would have been almost 1% higher.

22. Case Study 2: Shenmu-Yanan Rail Project
Total length 386 km with construction cost
of $731.78 million
Construction was started in 1998 and
completed in 2003
The Project is located in northern Shaanxi
Province, a poor and landlocked inland
with five nationally designated key
poverty counties, Hengshan,
Mizhi,Suide Zizhou and Qingjian
24. SOCIAL IMPACT AND POVERTY REDUCTION IN THE PROJECT AREA
•
•
•
•
The project provides safe, low-cost, more comfortable transport
facilities to larger markets and improved access to better employment
opportunities and social services
During 1997 and 2003, per capita incomes in the project area
increased by nearly 300%
Before the project, the percentage of the population living below the
poverty line in the project area was 22%. In 2005, it was 5%,through
the creation of more than 370,000 new jobs by the end of 2005.
GDP in Shenmu in 2000 was CNY2.3 billion and ranked 67th among
all the counties in Western China. In 2005, Shenmu’s GDP reached
CNY8 billion, placing its economy fifteenth among all counties in
Western China, and first among the counties in Shaanxi Province.
25. Case Study 3: Yichang-Wanzhou Rail Project
Total length 377 km with a construction
cost of $4,125 million
Construction started in 2004 and completed
in 2010
The project traverses eight counties and
districts in Hubei Province and
Chongqing Municipality that are
situated in a mountainous area that is
less developed and poor.

32. 5. Identify Opportunity and Future
Cooperation
Is China’s experience transferrable
to Africa?
33. The Cooperation in
Transport Infrastructure Development
• The Cooperation in Transport Infrastructure
Planning
• The Support on Transport Infrastructure
Investment and Operation from China
34. Is China’s experience transferrable?
• A comparable study is necessary to
understand the differences, esp. the
Africa contexts and conditions
• Lessons that should be learnt from
China’s practice, including the over
investment on high quality transport
infrastructure, such as expressway and
HSR
36. Education is Ranking No.1
for Poverty Reduction
• BJTU has long history to welcome the students
and researchers from African for transport and
communication education and study in the fields of
engineering ,sciences , management and
economics
• The first 2 students from Cameron who studied in
BJTU can be traced as early as 1954
• 200 students from Tanzania and Zambia entered
BJTU in 1972 according to the Agreement made
by the Triple Government for building and
operation the Tanzania and Zambia Railways
37. Education is Ranking No.1 for Poverty Reduction
• There have been
students from more
than 20 Africa
countries studied in
BJTU since 1978
• Now there are 75
African students in
BJTU
38. Education is Ranking No.1 for Poverty Reduction
We are very proud of
having more than 1000
Africa alumni who are
all over the World!
