Across Africa, a new generation of infrastructure is being conceived and built at a scale that would have been difficult to imagine only a few decades ago.
The projects range from a $42 billion LNG development in Tanzania and a $17 billion refinery in Kenya to a new Ethiopian airport designed to rank among the world’s biggest aviation centres.
Others target Africa’s long-standing problems, from unreliable power and costly transport to dependence on imported fuel.
Together, they could reshape energy, aviation, trade and critical mineral supply chains, while also intensifying competition between China, the United States and Europe for influence across Africa.
