Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso continues to address infrastructure gaps amid ongoing development challenges by mobilizing external financing and multilateral support for transport, digital and basic services. Recent World Bank‑supported projects are strengthening climate‑resilient road and rail networks to improve connectivity and trade, and expanding digital infrastructure and public services to drive growth and inclusion. Urban mobility and basic infrastructure investments in secondary cities are helping improve access to services and economic opportunities for populations affected by instability and climate shocks. While security and fiscal constraints complicate implementation, infrastructure development remains a core component of the country’s medium‑term growth and resilience strategies.

Mali
Mali faces significant infrastructure and development challenges amid political instability and security pressures. Investments in road corridors, rural electrification and water systems aim to improve connectivity and support agricultural and mining sectors. However, fiscal constraints and governance limitations have slowed implementation of large-scale projects. Strengthening institutional capacity, improving infrastructure governance and enhancing regional integration through Sahel trade corridors remain central to promoting economic resilience and diversification beyond gold exports.
