Northern Corridor Upgrade Transit times published monthly by the corridor authority — the best freight data in East Africa. | Roads + rail | $3.2bn | Construction | 2028 |

Kigali Innovation City The Africa50 flagship: infrastructure as a platform for services exports rather than commodities. | SEZ | $2bn | Construction | 2029 |
Ruzizi III Hydropower Three-country offtake makes the credit stronger on paper and slower in practice. | Hydro | $0.7bn | Structuring | 2029 |
Umoja Fibre Route (Google) The first intercontinental route to run overland through the African interior rather than around it. | Terrestrial + subsea | $0.6bn | Construction | 2027 |
