Transport infrastructure is vital for connecting communities, economic empowerment, and Africa's energy transition. But how can we bring more projects to financial close? Here, we consider:

• What does the project pipeline look like for transport infrastructure projects across Africa?

• What lessons can be learned from successful African transport projects such as the Abidjan metro?
• How do ESG requirements impact project procurement?

• What do African governments need from the financing community to ensure that vital projects go ahead?
