Locations

Algeria

Algeria has seen a notable uptick in public and private investment, particularly in infrastructure, energy and transport, as part of broader economic transformation efforts. Strategic projects, including major rail corridors, urban mobility, desalination capacity and energy diversification, are underway, supported by increased foreign direct investment and partnerships with development banks. To deepen development impacts, Algeria continues to pursue economic diversification beyond hydrocarbons, improve regulatory and investment frameworks and enhance governance of infrastructure delivery.

Angola

In recent years, Angola has stepped up investment in repairing, expanding and modernising its infrastructure as a core pillar of post‑civil war reconstruction and economic development. While high levels of public investment have helped restore key transport, energy and water assets, improving the efficiency and quality of this investment will require strengthening financial markets, regulatory frameworks and infrastructure governance. According to InfraCompass 2020, Angola scores relatively low on these institutional drivers compared with many other countries, underscoring the importance of reforms to translate funding into sustainable economic outcomes.
