Bridging Africa’s Infrastructure Execution Gap
Africa has a portfolio of around 130 transnational infrastructure projects, yet only 6% are currently under construction.
The challenge lies not in planning but in execution, according to a report by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
Three main blockages: poor coordination, funding difficulties, and limited execution capability.
The gap costs Africa an estimated $500 billion in GDP, 74 million jobs, and one million lives each year.
- Coordination issues among institutions contribute to delays.
- The continent faces a $60 billion annual infrastructure funding gap.
- A shortage of about five million skilled professionals.

Author's summary: Africa faces execution gap in infrastructure projects.
