Road safety crisis: Tanzania
Tanzania's police recorded 1,275 road deaths in 2025, but WHO's model estimates about 10,052 a year, roughly seven for every death on the record. This study finds the quickest gains in speed management on the A7 and Dar es Salaam–Dodoma corridors, a fastened, certified helmet for every motorcycle passenger, a working emergency chain from crash to trauma unit, a 3-star minimum for roads, and a link
Growing economy, low connectivity: Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's economy grew about 8% in 2025, yet only about 42% of people use the internet. Mobile coverage is not the main problem: LTE covers about 96% of the urban population and there are close to one mobile connection per person. The binding constraints are the price of data (Cable.co.uk ranks Zimbabwe the most expensive of 237 territories at US$43.75 per GB), unreliable power at sites and digit

Large population without reliable power: Uganda
Uganda's power problem has moved from generation to delivery. Installed capacity reached about 2,048 MW in 2024 against a 2025 system peak of about 1,351 MW, but 44.7% of people still lack access, losses run near 17% and manufacturers report frequent outages. The 2030 National Energy Compact targets 85% access, US$17.7 billion of investment (US$9.4 billion private) and 2,712 mini-grids from a base
