Infrastructure Sector
Transport, logistics, construction, water, waste and urban infrastructure.
The problems clients are asking us to solve
Investment gap
The AfDB estimates Africa requires $130-170 billion per year in infrastructure investment; only about half is being mobilised.
Project preparation gap
Too few bankable projects reach the market; strong project preparation is a binding constraint.
Delivery risk
Cost overruns, schedule delays and quality failures affect many major infrastructure programmes.
Maintenance neglect
Asset management and O&M planning remain under-prioritised, shortening asset life.
Climate resilience
Infrastructure needs to be designed for changing climate conditions - a shift many project pipelines have yet to make.
