Africa’s infrastructure investment rebounds amidst challenges

According to the study, commitments for Private Participation in Infrastructure (PPI) across 263 projects were $91.7 billion (Sh12.4 trillion), a 23% increase from 2021. “The total number of projects, however, is still below pre-pandemic levels,” World Bank says.

In the year ending in December 2022, infrastructure investments in low- and middle-income countries resumed, according to the World Bank’s most recent data projection on investments, which was published very recently.

Nevertheless, the region had the most PPI transactions per country and project over the previous ten years. Around 45 PPP projects are currently being implemented or running in Kenya, six of which are 639 km of roads under the roads annuity and tolling programs.
