Description: Under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) framework, Africa is pursuing broad-based development by addressing constraints to its long-term growth and transformation. The development vision of Africa is anchored on Agenda 2063, articulated through the Africa We Want, and the United Nations Agenda 2030. To meet these goals, by leveraging the immense potential of the continent, further bold steps are needed both in addressing barriers to growth and in adopting forwardlooking policies to create new opportunities for improving livelihoods and increasing prosperity on the continent. The infrastructure gap in Africa is among the greatest barriers to growth, impacting investment across sectors.
