Nevertheless, underdeveloped infrastructure continues to be a binding constraint on sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, AfCFTA must not be constrained by infrastructure deficits and the fragmentation of supply chains. The vast infrastructure gap in Africa, including transport and utilities infrastructure, must be urgently addressed so as not to restrict increased trade integration. ACCS believes that closing Africa\u2019s infrastructure gaps by\u00a0unlocking the flow of investment is badly needed. Currently, African countries are not sufficiently investing in connectivity and infrastructure, which significantly hampers regional trade.<\/p>\n<p>To reverse this pattern, a massive and strategic investment in connectivity and infrastructure is essential. There is no universal recipe for industrialisation. African countries need to design their own economic development strategy and industrial policy that fits their unique circumstances. One of the major actions taken by ACCS in 2020 was to partnership with Regional Economic communities and development banks to assist them raising the capital and the fund needed to have the necessary infrastructure in place to support Africa\u2019s development which includes railways, roads, bridges, ICT and digital economy in areas currently difficult to access, thus opening up access to millions of people in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-685cf02 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"685cf02\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a5df78b\" data-id=\"a5df78b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d257cb6 elementor-position-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"d257cb6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><a href=\"https:\/\/accs.international\/?page_id=17427\" tabindex=\"-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/accs.international\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/159539_constructionsite_701476-oxud288tm1trja32jwb5o25b75pf5l71d9pxuo6s9s.jpg\" title=\"159539_constructionsite_701476\" alt=\"159539_constructionsite_701476\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><h3 class=\"elementor-image-box-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/accs.international\/?page_id=17427\">Contruction<\/a><\/h3><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
