Improving infrastructure, improving lives.
Engineering Solutions Designed to Last
The challenges of infrastructure development in West Africa reveal a troubling pattern that significantly hampers project success. While limited access to funding is often cited as the primary obstacle, further analysis indicates that inadequate project preparation and planning are often more critical factors in the failure of these initiatives.
Poor planning leads to project concepts that lack thorough vetting, which creates significant bankability and viability issues. Consequently, this results in limited or even nonexistent access to funding. Key issues associated with poorly planned projects include:
1. Weak Infrastructure Master Planning: A lack of comprehensive frameworks hampers strategic development and long-term vision.
2. Inadequate Project Feasibility Assessments: Limited capacity to evaluate technical and economic viability leaves many projects poorly justified.
3. Insufficient Technical and Commercial Expertise: The absence of knowledgeable input during the preparation phase undermines project design and execution.
4. Lack of Risk Mitigation Strategies: Without addressing the mismatch between long-term infrastructure financing needs and the short tenures of local bank loans, projects are often deemed too risky for investment.
