Africa’s infrastructure financing is increasingly shaped by shifting global geopolitics, with major powers and emerging players offering competing investment initiatives like the EU’s Global Gateway, G7’s PGII, and China’s BRI. While these provide vital capital, African nations must balance external interests with sovereignty and long-term goals. Emphasis is growing on South-South cooperation, regional financial institutions, and resilient financing models to navigate economic volatility and geopolitical complexity.
