Locations
Afghanistan
Afghanistan’s infrastructure base remains severely underdeveloped after decades of conflict, with major gaps in transport, electricity generation and water systems. Connectivity projects linking Central and South Asia have been viewed as potential drivers of trade and economic stabilisation. However, limited fiscal space, sanctions-related financial isolation and weak institutional capacity significantly constrain infrastructure financing and private investment. Sustainable development will depend on improved governance frameworks, regional cooperation and gradual restoration of investor confidence.

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.
