Locations
Burundi
Burundi faces significant infrastructure deficits, particularly in energy, water and utility services, which constrain private sector growth and broader development. Recent investments co‑financed by the World Bank, African Development Bank, European Investment Bank and the European Union have expanded electricity generation through new hydroelectric plants and are improving access to clean water and sanitation services for hundreds of thousands of people. Ongoing sector reforms aim to strengthen institutional performance and attract private participation in service delivery. Despite these gains, national electrification rates and infrastructure coverage remain low, highlighting the need for sustained investment, improved governance and expanded connectivity to support inclusive economic growth.

Kenya has positioned infrastructure investment as a pillar of its development strategy, deploying public funds and innovative financing to expand roads, ports, rail networks and energy systems that enable trade and productivity. Under a World Bank–supported PPP framework, Kenya has strengthened legal and institutional capacity to mobilise private capital for infrastructure across sectors including transport, water and housing, widening access to services and supporting economic transformation.
