Locations
Afghanistan
Afghanistan’s infrastructure base remains severely underdeveloped after decades of conflict, with major gaps in transport, electricity generation and water systems. Connectivity projects linking Central and South Asia have been viewed as potential drivers of trade and economic stabilisation. However, limited fiscal space, sanctions-related financial isolation and weak institutional capacity significantly constrain infrastructure financing and private investment. Sustainable development will depend on improved governance frameworks, regional cooperation and gradual restoration of investor confidence.

Albania
Albania focuses on road modernization, rail upgrades, port expansion, and energy infrastructure to improve regional integration and support economic growth. EU cohesion and pre-accession funds are a major source of infrastructure financing. Investments aim to strengthen trade links with neighboring countries and enhance tourism accessibility. Governance reforms, fiscal capacity, and project implementation efficiency remain critical challenges.
