Locations
Malawi
Malawi’s development agenda centres on closing infrastructure deficits in energy, transport and irrigation to support agricultural productivity and economic diversification. Investment in power generation and transmission seeks to address chronic electricity shortages that limit industrial growth, while road and trade corridor upgrades aim to enhance regional connectivity. Given constrained public finances and exposure to climate risks, Malawi relies heavily on concessional financing and development partners. Continued reforms to strengthen public investment management and regulatory frameworks are key to improving infrastructure delivery and long-term resilience.

Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe faces significant infrastructure rehabilitation needs across energy, transport and water systems due to years of underinvestment and macroeconomic instability. Recent efforts have focused on power generation upgrades, road maintenance and re-engagement with international financial institutions to unlock financing. Strengthening policy consistency, restoring investor confidence and improving governance frameworks are essential to translating infrastructure initiatives into sustainable economic recovery and growth.
