example, donors tend to prioritize ODA to countries that promote access to basic
needs such as health, legal systems and infrastructure.
Finally, we identified five pathways that can help transform some of the negative
factors into positives that can enhance the ability to secure (and effectively use) FDIs
and ODA, namely capacity-building liberalization and deregulation, incentives and
regulations, partnerships and regional integration. Policies should aim to strengthen
these areas in order to enhance the influx and effective use of FDIs and ODA in
African countries.
