Why Africa’s Mega-Projects Fail—And How "Modular" Infrastructure Is the Real Solution

Joe Hotagua sits down with Kelvin Amafina, Langovest's Founder and CEO, to challenge the traditional "top-down" approach to African infrastructure. Kelvin, a medical doctor turned entrepreneur, shares how witnessing the resilience of Ukraine’s infrastructure during war reshaped his vision for development on the continent. We dive deep into why billion-dollar projects often stall and explore a "ground-up" blueprint for growth that empowers the diaspora to fund real, visible change. 🕒 Key Topics Covered: • The "Life-Enabling" Definition: Why infrastructure is more than just roads and bridges—it is any technology that enables life. • The Ukraine Lesson: How the rapid deployment of 250 mobile health clinics in two years proved that "small and modular" beats "massive and slow" . • The Failure of Mega-Projects: Why political maturity and financial institutional gaps often lead to unfinished "political point" projects . • The Shenzhen & Dubai Model: The three factors that turned fishing ports into economic marvels: political reform, massive capital, and innovative tech • Modular Success Stories: Real-world examples like Cold Hops, which uses decentralized cold storage to tackle Africa’s $3 billion annual food waste problem.
