United States Expands Investment Network Across Central Africa Infrastructure

Edited by:  Reda El Ghazal

The United States is stepping up its economic engagement in Central Africa, driving a wave of investment deals aimed at reshaping the region’s infrastructure and reinforcing American influence. Over the past days, Washington has secured new contracts and commitments worth two point five billion dollars, reflecting a clear strategy to connect East and West Africa through advanced projects and partnerships.

As part of this renewed engagement, the recent period has witnessed major agreements such as the collaboration between Hydro-Link and Angola to establish a vast private power transmission line exceeding one thousand kilometers. This ambitious project will deliver over one gigawatt of electricity from Angolan hydropower to mining operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Moreover, an American consortium is moving forward with the construction of grain silos along the Lobito Corridor, targeting improved food security across the region.

Furthermore, this momentum continues to build following a peace agreement between the DRC and Rwanda, which paves the way for regional economic integration. Not only are new frameworks being established for cross-border cooperation, but partnerships like the one between Ruzizi III Holding and Anzana Electric Group also illustrate the expanding reach of US-backed ventures in the energy sector. As a result, with more projects expected to follow, the United States is laying the groundwork for a new era of economic cooperation and transformation in Central Africa.
