“…Indeed, Africa’s infrastructure investment needs reached US$130–170bn in 2018, with a financing gap of US$68–108bn (Arbouch et al , 2020). Yet, considering the significant economic potential of Africa (business opportunities, raw materials and affordable workforce) (Al Essa, 2016), the continent appealed an upward trend of investment into the CS since 2017 (Figure 9) to register YoY growth of 53% in 2018 and 5.3% in 2019 (Essop, 2020). However, in 2020, the FDI averagely decreased by 32.5% (UNCTAD, 2020a, 2020b) and African construction experienced a decrease of almost one-fifth (19.8%) of its total value compared to 2019 (Deloitte Group, 2021).…”

Purpose The unexpected spread of COVID-19 rapidly switched from a health crisis to an economic one. The Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry experienced drastic impacts, especially in Africa. Several studies investigated COVID-19 impacts on the AEC industry, but very few were conducted in Africa. This study aims to cover this gap, address detailed overview of negative and positive impacts of COVID-19 on the AEC field, especially in the different African regions, and highlight their causes and the measures taken to overcome them. Design/methodology/approach The authors combined a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-based Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and a survey involving 87 AEC companies operating in Africa. The SLR initially used four scientific databases; however, considering the limited Africa-related found data, institutional and governmental databases were also included. Findings Globally, implementing the mandated restrictive measures against COVID-19 caused significant losses for developers, designers and contractors but helped the information and communication technologies operators to thrive. In the five African regions, the AEC industry experienced 22 heavy impacts that can be split into four categories: financial, managerial/strategic, operational and opportunities. This paper thoughtfully explains the causes of COVID-19 impacts and presents the undertaken measures by the African private and public sectors to overcome them. Generally, the African AEC industry lost 51% of the total sales in 2020. Originality/value This paper contains all aspects related to health hazard influences on the AEC industry, especially in Africa. Researchers and decision-makers may use it to build new approaches or strategies related to risk management or design technological solutions.

The increasing popularity and number of electric vehicles (EVs) globally have resulted in a growing demand for efficient, reliable, and effective electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) infrastructure. However, the development and implementation of this infrastructure involves various challenges, including the variety of EVs, charging and battery technologies, high installation costs, limited grid capacity, and uncertainties regarding future demand, and raises issues regarding the quality, security, and stability of the power system. This paper presents a holistic understanding of the challenges, mitigation approaches, and available technologies and protocols related to EVCS network deployment. Moreover, optimization strategies such as location planning, network integration, scheduling charging time, and planning price, which involve maximizing the utilization of charging stations and minimizing associated costs, and their modeling techniques are highlighted.
