South Africa is seeking private investment to strengthen electricity supply and local vaccine production. A World Bank feature describes how government reforms and financial support are being combined in these two areas. The bank reports that private capital mobilised through its group rose substantially over four years, while stressing the role of changes that make investment easier.
In electricity, measures have opened more space for private generators and improved access to the grid. Further progress will require additional transmission capacity and continued market reform. The feature presents these changes as part of a longer effort to reduce the disruptions that unreliable power creates for households, public services and businesses across the country.
Meanwhile, vaccine company Biovac is developing a facility intended to handle the full production process. Its planned capacity could reach 250 million doses annually at full scale. This is a future expectation, not current output. The World Bank describes financing and partnerships supporting the project, which aims to reduce dependence on imported vaccines and create jobs.
