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.

Namibia

Namibia continues to invest in transport corridors, port infrastructure and renewable energy as part of efforts to position itself as a logistics and green energy hub in Southern Africa. Strategic investments in hydrogen, solar and wind energy projects are designed to attract foreign capital and support economic diversification beyond mining. While institutional capacity is relatively strong, sustaining infrastructure quality and mobilising private investment remain priorities amid fiscal constraints.
