Turkish construction companies will implement projects worth $78 billion in Africa in 2021

Since the end of 2021, Turkish contracting companies have implemented about 1,686 projects in the African continent, with a value exceeding $78 billion, and as a result, job opportunities have been provided to more than 100,000 people as a result of these projects.

These successes were the result of an active diplomatic movement on the part of Turkish officials in Africa during the last two decades, in which the number of Turkish embassies increased to 42.

The year 1972 was the first global and African launch for Turkish contracting companies to work outside the country’s borders, specifically in Libya, and then the Turkish construction companies tightened their control over many global markets in the field of construction such as Russia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Turkish contracting companies have earned the trust of many countries and proven their efficiency and ingenuity in implementing major projects with the utmost professionalism, making them the biggest competitors of Chinese companies in Africa.

In just 17 months, despite the repeated closures of Coronavirus and the accompanying logistical difficulties, the Turkish Contracting Company (Summa İnşaat) was able to complete the construction work of the stadium with the help of its team of 2,500 people, at least 70% of whom are Senegalese, and during construction 349 suppliers were dealt with.

Turkish investments in Africa are distributed to many countries, such as Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Rwanda.
