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.

Benin

Benin has been increasing both public and private investment in strategic infrastructure to support economic transformation and regional integration. Major initiatives include expansion of the Port of Cotonou and its logistics capacity to strengthen trade linkages across West Africa, significant public‑transport redevelopment financed with multilateral support, and agricultural infrastructure projects that link rural production with markets. The government is pursuing reforms to improve the investment climate and establish public‑private partnership (PPP) frameworks, supported by development policy financing from the World Bank and concessional loans to bolster economic governance and private sector participation. Continued improvements in transport, energy access, and economic diversification remain central to deepening productivity and inclusive growth.
