Supporting Protection and Strengthening the Resilience of Migrants, Refugees and Other People in Need of Protection in North Africa

Egypt has undertaken one of its most ambitious infrastructure investment programs in history, with hundreds of billions of dollars allocated to transport networks, new urban developments, energy and water systems, and industrial zones that underpin economic diversification and regional integration. These investments - including extensive road and rail expansion, smart city initiatives, and major renewable and utility projects - have enhanced Egypt’s position as a logistics and production hub while supporting macroeconomic stability and private sector growth. Public service delivery indices rank the country highly in infrastructure quality among Africa’s economies, though reforms continue to improve the regulatory climate and attract foreign investment.

Libya’s development is closely tied to its vast hydrocarbon wealth, which historically funded major infrastructure systems such as the Great Man-Made River water network and energy installations. Ongoing reforms and new long-term oil investment agreements with international firms reflect efforts to modernise the energy sector and attract foreign capital after years of instability. However, political fragmentation and the reliance on oil revenues continue to complicate infrastructure repair and broader diversification, while weak public services infrastructure - particularly electricity, water and transport - remains a key development challenge. Recent steps to establish reconstruction funds and licensing rounds highlight attempts to rebuild infrastructure and stimulate broader economic activity.
