African infrastructure development requires $810 billion in investment over the next five years. Currently, $363 billion is being invested in infrastructure projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the majority going to transport and energy projects. Successful infrastructure development is needed to support economic growth and achieve development goals, but faces challenges including a lack of funding, political instability, and corruption.

What impacts infrastructure development on the continent?
Drivers
Challenges Millennium
Development
Goal targets
Project funds have to be secured from the private Increasing Expansion of
sector / donors as African countries do not have private sector the mining
participation industry
sufficient funds to support infrastructure development
Skills shortage on the continent results in
engineers and other skilled labour being imported for
projects, increasing costs Restraints
Corruption and Reliance on
Political Instability in the long term increases mal- private sector /
the risk of future projects. This challenge is administration donor funding
