This book examines why public infrastructure in Africa consistently costs more, takes longer, and delivers less than it should, and what procurement reform can do about it. Drawing on two decades of frontline experience in Ghana's road sector and rigorous academic research, it argues that value for money is not an auditing slogan but a governance imperative. The book traces how weak institutional frameworks, poor contract management, cognitive biases in tender evaluation, and fragmented regulatory systems combine to erode public investment outcomes across the continent. At its core is the author's original Infrastructure Value-for-Money Certification Framework (IVMCF), a practical tool for assessing whether public infrastructure projects genuinely serve the citizens who fund them. The book integrates insights from e-procurement adoption, digital governance, sustainability, and AfCFTA harmonisation to chart a reform agenda that is both evidence-based and actionable. It speaks to procurement practitioners, policy makers, development financiers, and academics who believe that better systems, not just more money, are the key to transforming Africa's infrastructure landscape.
