https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/publication/c35564b6-20e5-4606-a9df-d5735f8481d3 Infrastructure lies at the heart of development. Reliable energy systems, efficient transport networks, and robust digital connectivity are essential for economic growth, job creation, social inclusion, and resilience. They connect people to employment clusters and markets, enable firms to compete and innovate, and allow societies to deliver basic services—from health and education to water and sanitation—at scale. Yet across much of the developing world, large gaps in infrastructure access and quality persist, even as fiscal space remains constrained and investment needs continue to grow. © 2026 World Bank Group,
