Why this brief exists
Africa Infrastructure Brief is written by someone who has developed projects in Africa, and who still gets texts from family when the power goes out for three days and half a month’s salary rots in a fridge. That is not a footnote. That is the point.
This brief covers African infrastructure the way owners cover it — deal by deal, with real numbers, real risk allocations, real timelines. Because the projects that get built are the ones that change what daily life looks like. And the ones that do not get built are why families like mine still lose groceries to power outages that should not happen.
What you get.
One deal-driven issue per week, published Sunday. Owner-side analysis: real numbers, real risk allocations, real timelines. Frameworks that make sense of the pattern behind the headline.
Who writes it.
Magnus — an infrastructure project leader with field experience across African countries. Projects have spanned energy, marine, industrial, and cross-border pipeline development. This brief is the public expression of a decade of owner-side work.
