The continued population growth across Africa has resulted in increased demand for infrastructure development. This has in turn driven a significant rise in the number of investors seeking opportunities in this region. To support this increase in demand, more and more countries across Africa are now seeking the public sector skills needed to run successful PPP contracts.
