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.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has stepped up infrastructure investment to strengthen connectivity and stimulate economic development, including road rehabilitation, airport upgrades and improved access to markets supported by external financing from multilateral partners. Infrastructure remains critical given the country’s vast size and low access to electricity and reliable transport; projects such as road corridor development and expansion of trade logistics aim to unlock mineral value chains and agricultural markets. Strengthening institutional frameworks, enhancing public-private partnerships and improving governance are key to translating these investments into inclusive growth and diversification beyond resource exports.
