Locations

Angola

In recent years, Angola has stepped up investment in repairing, expanding and modernising its infrastructure as a core pillar of post‑civil war reconstruction and economic development. While high levels of public investment have helped restore key transport, energy and water assets, improving the efficiency and quality of this investment will require strengthening financial markets, regulatory frameworks and infrastructure governance. According to InfraCompass 2020, Angola scores relatively low on these institutional drivers compared with many other countries, underscoring the importance of reforms to translate funding into sustainable economic outcomes.

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.
