The aim is to analyze infrastructure development convergence within 52 African countries across various regions from 2005 to 2022.
Utilized Phillips and Sul's convergence econometric approach
Classified panel data into seven regional economic groups based on PIDA
Analyzed four indicators: energy, transportation, telecommunications, and water and sanitation
No panel convergence was noted across all regions for the full sample size
Evidence of a trend toward convergence by the end of the research period in all regions
Only countries in the COMESA and SADC regions showed rapid alignment in infrastructure development

Noah et al. (2026) studied this question.
