Locations

Kenya

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.

Nigeria

Nigeria’s development trajectory increasingly emphasises large-scale infrastructure investment to support economic diversification and reduce dependence on oil revenues. Expansion of rail networks, highways, power generation and digital connectivity seeks to improve productivity across Africa’s largest economy. Reforms targeting electricity markets, public-private partnerships and regulatory transparency aim to attract private capital and enhance project efficiency. However, implementation gaps, fiscal pressures and governance challenges continue to influence the pace and quality of infrastructure delivery.
