World Class Infrastructure Criss-Crosses Africa
Goal 10 of Agenda 2063, contributing to Integrated Continent.
About this goal
Africa’s performance in enhancing communication and infrastructure connectivity fell short of the expected targets. Standing at only 29% of the 2019 target value, the continent scored poorly on the implementation of the African High-Speed Rail Network, implementation of protocols on African open skies, and the implementation of the Trans-African Highway Missing Link.
Commendable progress, however, was made in increasing electricity generation and distribution, recorded at 79% of the 2019 target.
Africa’s target of doubling ICT penetration was only achieved partially. At continental-level, the average contribution of ICT to GDP increased moderately, achieving 39% of the 2019 target.
