West African economic and infrastructure development

Overview

West African nations are pursuing various economic and infrastructure development initiatives through regional projects and policy restructuring.

In Guinea, the government has announced funding for significant infrastructure in the Faranah region, including the Tinkisso 2 hydroelectric dam and road paving projects to improve mobility and commerce. Togo is preparing for the Savanes Agricultural and Craft Fair in Dapaong to promote regional products and sustainable development.

Efforts are also shifting toward the implementation of public-private partnerships (PPP). In Togo, high-level discussions in Lomé focused on using PPPs to support the government’s 2026-2031 roadmap, emphasizing the need for quality project structuring and risk sharing. Meanwhile, in Senegal, the private sector is advocating for reforms to ensure local companies can participate in large-scale state projects through subcontracting quotas and mandatory capital participation.
