Locations

Lesotho

Lesotho’s development agenda includes upgrading essential infrastructure - such as transport links, water supply and energy systems - to support economic integration with South Africa and regional markets. Participating in Southern African regional projects helps improve connectivity, but limited domestic resources and challenging terrain mean that external financing and improved governance are important for realising investment in critical infrastructure that supports inclusive growth and provokes private sector participation.

South Africa

South Africa possesses one of the most developed infrastructure systems in Africa, including extensive transport networks, ports, energy assets and financial markets. However, maintenance backlogs, electricity supply constraints and logistics bottlenecks have weighed on growth in recent years. Reform of state-owned enterprises, expansion of renewable energy procurement and increased private participation in infrastructure are central to restoring efficiency, strengthening competitiveness and supporting long-term economic expansion.
